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

Secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) are important initiators and regulators of immunity. To carry out this function, the blood vasculature must deliver oxygen and nutrients and recruit circulating lymphocytes into the SLO parenchyma, where they encounter cognate antigen. High endothelial venules (HEVs) are specialised postcapillary venules that specifically serve this function and are found in all SLOs except spleen. It is becoming clear that alterations to HEV network density and/or morphology can result in immune activation or, as recently implicated, in providing an exit route for tumour cell dissemination and metastases. In this review, the structural plasticity of HEVs, the regulatory pathways underpinning this plasticity, and the relevance of these pathways to cancer progression will be discussed.
