Liver Metastatic Colorectal Tumor Cells Change Their Phenotype During Consecutive Passages on Chick Embryo Chorioallantoic Membrane: Lessons from the Lab to the Clinic.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND/
aimColon cancer liver metastases with desmoplastic growth pattern (dGP) have a highly heterogeneous therapy response. The aim of the study was to evaluate the dGP liver metastasis molecular profile from a chemo-naive patient by mimicking metastatic process on an experimental chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model. MATERIALS AND
methodsThree successive CAM passages of dGP human colorectal liver metastases were immunophenotyped for keratin (K) 8, and 20, CLIC1, VEGF, EGFR, CD34, podoplanin, Ki67, E-cadherin and vimentin.
resultsMetastatic cells gradually lost K20 while K8, E-cadherin and vimentin heterogeneously increased during passages. VEGF, CLIC 1, EGFR expression increased in metastatic cells especially at the tumor graft periphery. Scattered proliferating and non-proliferating podoplanin-positive tumor cells, lymphatic and blood vessels were heterogeneously detected in tumor xenografts depending on passage stage.
conclusionBy mimicking repetitive metastatic processes we proved that metastatic cells change their phenotype. This may explain why not all metastases have a similar response to therapy.
