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

Brain metastases are the most lethal complication of advanced cancer; therefore, it is critical to identify when a tumor has the potential to metastasize to the brain. There are currently no interventions that shed light on the potential of primary tumors to metastasize to the brain. We constructed and tested a platform to quantitatively profile the dynamic phenotypes of cancer cells from aggressive triple negative breast cancer cell lines and patient derived xenografts (PDXs), generated from a primary tumor and brain metastases from tumors of diverse organs of origin. Combining an advanced live cell imaging algorithm and artificial intelligence, we profile cancer cell extravasation within a microfluidic blood-brain niche (μBBN) chip, to detect the minute differences between cells with brain metastatic potential and those without with a PPV of 0.91 in the context of this study. The results show remarkably sharp and reproducible distinction between cells that do and those which do not metastasize inside of the device.
