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

Increasing evidence supports the critical role of active stromal adipocytes in breast cancer development and spread. However, the mediators and the mechanisms of action are still elusive. We show here that cancer-associated adipocytes (CAAs) isolated from 10 invasive breast carcinomas are proinflammatory and exhibit active phenotypes, including higher proliferative, invasive, and migratory capacities compared to their adjacent tumor-counterpart adipocytes (TCAs). Furthermore, all CAAs secreted higher level of interleukin-8 (IL-8), which is critical in mediating the paracrine procarcinogenic effects of these cells. Importantly, ectopic expression of IL-8 in TCA cells activated them and enhanced their procarcinogenic effects both
