Review in General thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Lung cancer (LC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a well-known phenomenon that promotes the invasive and metastatic capabilities of LC. Especially, EMT is assumed to be a pivotal mechanism for tumor cell invasion and metastasis, thereby limiting the efficacy of surgery and medical treatments, resulting in poor patient prognoses. Thus, the elucidation and reversal of EMT could provide changes in therapeutic strategies for LC. To overcome the limitations of currents treatment regimens for LC, it is important for surgeons to be familiar with this complex tumor characteristic. In this review, the activating signaling pathways underlying EMT and the associated tumor phenotypes are briefly described.
