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

Tumor metastasis is an important event in cancer progression, representing an enduring and irrevocable hallmark of cancers. The causes of tumor metastasis are complex and diverse. Arising evidence shows that the dysregulation of calcium signaling plays a crucial role in its initiation and progress. Calcium is an essential secondary messenger that regulates signaling pathways associated with tumor metastasis. The transient accumulation of calcium potentially promotes the advancement of tumor metastasis, while calcium-dependent proteins and calcium-related channels also significantly contribute to such malignant process. Thus, compounds specially targeting calcium channels, transporters or pumps may be therapeutic approaches prohibiting tumor metastasis. This review focuses on exploring the roles of calcium ions, calcium-dependent proteins and calcium-related channels in organotropic metastasis of cancer and its clinical applications in the treatment of metastatic cancers.
