1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Lung tumorigenesis is characterized by mechanical perturbations at the molecular level that affect cancer development, progression and drug efficacy. Tumor expansion, alterations in the matrix stiffness and aberrant mechanical inputs lead to distorted mechanobiology of cancer and stromal cells. This dysregulation is accompanied by oncogenic mechanosignaling facilitating their invasion, migration and immune evasion. A growing volume of data highlight that such molecular events are translated to clinical phenotypes, which encompass a distinct group of oncogenic molecular mechanisms, prognostic and predictive biomarkers as well as putative therapeutic targets in lung cancer.
