The Ratio of RAC1B to RAC1 Expression in Breast Cancer Cell Lines as a Determinant of Epithelial/Mesenchymal Differentiation and Migratory Potential.
Article in Cells, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Breast cancer (BC) is a heterogenous disease encompassing tumors with different histomorphological phenotypes and transcriptionally defined subtypes. However, the non-mutational/epigenetic alterations that are associated with or causally involved in phenotype diversity or conversion remain to be elucidated. Data from the pancreatic cancer model have shown that the small GTPase RAC1 and its alternatively spliced isoform, RAC1B, antagonistically control epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cell motility induced by transforming growth factor β. Using a battery of established BC cell lines with either a well-differentiated epithelial or poorly differentiated mesenchymal phenotype, we observed subtype-specific protein expression of RAC1B and RAC1. While epithelial BC lines were RAC1B
