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

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) exert a key role in cancer progression and liver metastasis. They are activated in the tumor microenvironment (TME), but their prometastatic mechanisms are not defined. CAFs are abundant in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, it is not clear whether they are raised from local tissue-resident fibroblasts or pericryptal fibroblasts and distant fibroblast precursors, and whether they may stimulate metastasis-promoting communication. B-cell lymphoma 9/B-cell lymphoma 9-like (BCL9/BCL9L) is the key transcription cofactor of β-catenin. We studied the TME of CRC with single-cell sequencing and consequently found that
