A morphometric study of invasion and metastasis in human colorectal carcinoma.
Article in Clinical & experimental metastasis. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 cell nuclei within primary and nodal secondaries of colorectal carcinomas were analysed morphometrically in order to identify a primary subpopulation with similar characteristics to cells involved in lymphatic metastasis. No significant difference in nuclear area was seen between cell populations of the primary and secondary. However, a regional variation in mean nuclear area was present, suggesting a relationship between cells at the invasion front and in early nodal metastasis. This subpopulation differed from the cell populations of the primary and more advanced secondaries. These results are consistent with the existence of a morphometrically identifiable metastatic subpopulation within the invasion front of colorectal carcinoma.
