Cancer-associated fibroblasts-derived CXCL1 activates DEC2-mediated dormancy in oral squamous cell carcinoma.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are known to play an important role in cancer progression, but their effects on tumor cell dormancy and the underlying mechanisms remain to be explored. Here, we aimed to dissect the intercellular communication between CAFs and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells under cellular dormancy. In this study, we investigated 61 OSCC patients and found that low expression of Differentiated Embryonic Chondrocyte gene 2 (DEC2) was closely associated with tumor recurrence, cisplatin chemotherapy administration, and infiltration of CAFs. Overexpression of DEC2 promoted the invasion and migration ability of OSCC cells but inhibited their proliferation and glucose metabolism, and characterized them as dormant and cisplatin-resistant cells. C-X-C motif ligand 1 (CXCL1) from CAFs was found to down-regulate DEC2 expression in OSCC cells, ultimately awakening dormant cells and leading to tumor recurrence, which was validated
