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

Epithelial ovarian cancer involves the shedding of single tumor cells or spheroids from the primary tumor into ascites, followed by their survival, and transit to the sites of metastatic colonization within the peritoneal cavity. During their flotation, anchorage-dependent epithelial-type tumor cells gain anoikis resistance, implicating integrins, including αvß3. In this study, we explored anoikis escape, cisplatin resistance, and prosurvival signaling as a function of the αvß3 transmembrane conformational activation state in cells suspended in ascites. A high-affinity and constitutively signaling-competent αvß3 variant, which harbored unclasped transmembrane domains, was found to confer delayed anoikis onset, enhanced cisplatin resistance, and reduced cell proliferation in ascites or 3D-hydrogels, involving p27
