Breaking down barriers: Tumors make a leaky brain.
Article in Developmental cell, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The causes of death among cancer patients are multifactorial, and the mechanisms that drive pathological conditions that are associated with, but take place outside of, the tumor are still poorly characterized. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Kim et al. (2021) identify a paraneoplastic syndrome that affects blood-brain barrier permeability and host survival.
