The Clinical Relevance of Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition Hallmarks: A Cut-Off-Based Approach in Healthy and Cancerous Cell Lines.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 atypical activation of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition represents one of the main mechanisms driving cancer cell dissemination. It enables epithelial cancer cells to detach from the primary tumor mass and gain survival advantages in the bloodstream, significantly contributing to the spread of circulating tumor cells. Notably, epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition is not a binary process but rather leads to the formation of a wide range of cell subpopulations characterized by the simultaneous expression of both epithelial and mesenchymal markers. Therefore, analyzing the modulation of EMT hallmarks during the conversion from healthy cells to metastatic cancer cells, which acquire stem mesenchymal characteristics, is of particular interest. This study investigates the expression of a panel of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition-related genes in healthy cells, primary and metastatic cancer cells, and in mesenchymal cell lines, derived from various tissues, including the lung, colon, pancreas, skin, and neuro-ectoderm, with the aim of identifying potential cut-off values for assessing cancer aggressiveness. Interestingly, we found that the expression levels of
