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

Can anastasis contribute to cancer recurrence? Anastasis is a cell recovery mechanism to spare dying cells after the initiation of the cell death process. Emerging studies interrogate anastasis as an unexpected escape tactic for cancer cells to evade cell death-inducing anti-cancer therapy, leading to recurrence. After anastasis, cancer cells display increased invasiveness and genomic instability, which could be associated with the common and fatal features of metastasis and drug resistance at the cancer recurrence. These studies open an encouraging new conceptual avenue for arresting cancer recurrence by targeting anastasis in cancer cells after conventional anti-cancer therapy. Here, we highlight recent findings towards unravelling pathological roles of anastasis in cancer recurrence, for the purpose of stimulating ideas and promoting the development of this new field of cancer research.
