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

Significant numbers of mast cells have been demonstrated histologically around the periphery of the invasive rat mammary adenocarcinoma 13672NF. The number of mast cells at microfoci along the tumour:host tissue junction was significantly greater than that found in normal mammary tissues, and few mast cells were detected within the tumour itself. Mast cell degranulation, often associated with disruption and lysis of the connective tissue matrix, was a common feature in later stages of tumour proliferation. When soluble products derived from purified rat peritoneal mast cells were added to monolayer cultures of rat stromal fibroblasts or tumour cells they stimulated a significant increase in total collagenase production, and the mast cell products were also capable of activating the latent collagenases thus produced. Histological examination indicated that degradation of local collagenous matrix was a common feature of mast cell degranulation, an observation possibly explained by the release of mast cell enzymes and/or the potential of this cell to modulate the expression of collagenolytic activity by surrounding cells. These observations suggest that, at least in some tumours, mast cells contribute to the connective tissue breakdown commonly associated with tumour invasiveness and metastatic spread.
