Lung-specific metastasis: the coevolution of tumor cells and lung microenvironment.
Review in Molecular cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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 vast majority of cancer-related deaths are attributed to metastasis. The lung, being a common site for cancer metastasis, is highly prone to being a target for multiple cancer types and causes a heavy disease burden. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that tumor metastasis necessitates continuous interactions between tumor cells and distant metastatic niches. Nevertheless, a comprehensive elucidation of the underlying mechanisms governing lung-specific metastasis still poses a formidable challenge. In this review, we depict the lung susceptibility and the molecular profiles of tumors with the potential for lung metastasis. Under the conceptual framework of "Reciprocal Tumor-Lung Metastatic Symbiosis" (RTLMS), we mechanistically delineate the bidirectional regulatory dynamics and coevolutionary adaptation between tumor cells and distal pulmonary niches during lung-specific metastasis, including the induction of pre-metastatic-niches, positive responses of the lung, tumor colonization, dormancy, and reawakening. An enhanced understanding of the latest mechanisms is essential for developing targeted strategies to counteract lung-specific metastasis.
