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

The tumor microenvironment (TME), particularly the extracellular matrix (ECM), plays a critical role in cancer progression. Focusing on ovarian cancer, Yuan et al. reveal an ECM-dependent signaling axis where cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) enhance the invasiveness of cancer cells via Rab25-driven upregulation of the protease ADAMTS5. This process is only triggered in the presence of native ECM. In turn, stimulated cancer cells favor CAF invasiveness through a mechanism that remains to be identified. These findings uncover a bidirectional crosstalk between cancer cells and CAFs and highlight the importance of context-specific in vitro models to decipher ECM-mediated tumor dynamics.
