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

Breast cancer has been the leading cause of female cancer deaths for decades. Intratumoral hypoxia, mainly caused by structural and functional abnormalities in microvasculature, is often associated with a more aggressive phenotype, increased risk of metastasis and resistance to anti-malignancy treatments. The response of cancer cells to hypoxia is ascribed to hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) that activate the transcription of a large battery of genes encoding proteins promoting primary tumor vascularization and growth, stromal cell recruitment, extracellular matrix remodeling, cell motility, local tissue invasion, metastasis, and maintenance of the cancer stem cell properties. In this review, we summarized the role of hypoxia specifically in breast cancer, discuss the prognostic and predictive value of hypoxia factors, potential links of hypoxia and endocrine resistance, cancer hypoxia measurements, further involved mechanisms, clinical application of hypoxia-related treatments and open questions.
