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

Bone metastasis is the primary cause of mortality in breast cancer (BC) patients. The present study elucidates the functional role of the differentiated embryonic chondrocyte-expressed gene 1 (DEC1) in promoting BC-related bone metastasis. Analysis of patient-derived samples and public databases revealed a significant upregulation of DEC1 and CXCR4 in breast tumors compared with adjacent normal tissues, with elevated levels correlating with increased metastatic potential, suggesting their synergistic involvement in BC progression. Intracardiac injection experiments demonstrated that
