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 naïve view of tumors as isolated islands of rogue cells has given way to a deeper understanding of cancer as being closer to a foreign organ. This "organ" contains immunologic, vascular, and neural connections to its host that provide not only mechanisms for disease progression but also opportunities for therapeutic intervention. The presence of nerves within tumor tissues has long been appreciated. However, a mechanistic understanding of how tumors recruit nerves has been slower to emerge. Tumor release of neurotrophic factors and axonal guidance molecules likely directs axons toward the tumor bed. Newly emerging data support a contribution of tumor-released exosomes in the induction of axonogenesis toward the tumor. Exosomes, small membrane-bound vesicles that carry a complex cargo (DNA, RNA, miRNA, lipids, and proteins), protect their cargo from the low pH of the tumor microenvironment. They also represent an efficient means of local and distal communication between the tumor and potentially innervating nerves. Likely, a combination of neurotrophins, guidance molecules, and exosomes work in concert to promote tumor innervation. As such, defining the critical components driving tumor innervation will identify new targets for intervention. Moreover, with a deepening understanding, tumor innervation may emerge as a new hallmark of cancer.
