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
backgroundCancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), one of the main members of stromal cells in tumor microenvironment are proposed to play a central role in promoting tumor metastasis. It is unclear whether and how CAFs mediates tumor metastasis or chemoresistance in human ovarian cancer.
methodsCAFs were extracted from human ovarian cancer tissues (OCs) of patients with different kinds of histological types.
resultsWe found that CAFs showed more aggressive potency than those tumor cells, both of which were isolated from the same ovarian cancer specimen. Moreover, when co-cultured with CAFs, cell migration abilities of ovarian cancer cells (SKOV3, OVCAR3 and HEY) were significantly increased. Next, we preliminarily detected a higher CAFs density in sections of metastatic lesions than those in primary tumor site of primary OCs clinically. However, no significant difference of stromal derived factors-1α (SDF-1α) production from CAFs was found between primary and metastatic lesions. Additionally, in contrast with tumor cells, CAFs exhibited obvious apoptosis resistance when treated with cisplatin. Furthermore, we found that cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity and apoptosis were significantly inhibited by co-cultured with recombinant human SDF-1α in SKOV3 in a time and dose-dependent manner, and this effect was suppressed by the CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100.
conclusionsCAFs might be involved in the malignant metastasis in human ovarian cancer through promoting cell migration in tumor cells. And their resistance to cytotoxic agents might be mediated by paracrine SDF-1α/CXCR4 signaling in ovarian cancer.
