1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The link between inflammatory microenvironment and cancer emerged in the last years as a decisive factor in the induction of the pathological epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). The EMT induces changes of cell states converting the epithelial cells to mesenchymal cells when this program is fully executed and EMT has emerged as a central driver of tumor malignancy. Cellular pathways activated by chronic inflammation brought about by chronic infections, by immune-mediated diseases, or by dysregulated wound healing at sites of repetitive tissue injury, constitute risk factors or initial cell transformation and for cancer progression. EMT and its intermediate states have recently been identified as crucial inducers of organ fibrosis, inflammation and tumor progression. In this review, we discuss the current state-of-the-art and latest findings regarding the link between EMT, inflammation, fibrosis and cancer, highlighting the most recent data on EMT-dependent tissue fibrosis during chronic inflammatory salivary glands conditions and salivary glands tumors.
