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 elimination of metastases remains one of the major challenges in the curative treatment of patients with cancer. Therefore, most patients with metastatic disease typically receive systemic agents, which prolong survival and alleviate symptoms but are rarely curative. The oligometastatic paradigm challenges the prevailing view of metastasis as a disseminated process and proposes the existence of a spectrum of biological virulence within metastatic lesions. In this Perspectives article, we present evidence supporting our hypothesis that integrated clinical and molecular classification of metastases along the spectrum of disease influences the staging and treatment of patients with cancer.
