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

Solid tumours are often highly acidic compared to normal tissue, and tumour extracellular acidosis contributes to multiple aspects of cancer progression. Now, Anemone et al. in this issue of the British Journal of Cancer provide in vivo evidence that the degree to which various breast cancer cell lines acidify their environment correlates with their ability to metastasise to the lungs. This indicates that measurements of tumour extracellular acidosis have the potential to become a clinical tool for assessing the risk of metastasis.
