Cancer cells display increased migration and deformability in pace with metastatic progression.
Article in FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 32 papers.
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.
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
In this study, we explored the relation between metastatic states vs the capacity of confined migration, amoeboid transition, and cellular stiffness. We compared across an isogenic panel of human breast cancer cells derived from MDA-MB-231 cells. It was observed that cells after lung metastasis have the fastest migration and lowest stiffness, with a significantly higher capacity to transition into an amoeboid mode. Our findings illustrate that metastasis is a selective process favoring motile and softer cells. Moreover, the observation that circulating tumor cells resemble the parental cell line, but not lung-metastatic cells, suggests that cells with higher deformability and motility are likely selected during extravasation and colonization.
