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

Among the numerous malignant behaviors of tumors, metastasis plays a critical role in contributing to poor prognosis. Anoikis is a distinct form of apoptosis induced when cells detach from the extracellular matrix (ECM) or adhere to an improper ECM. It is a physiological obstacle to tumor cell metastasis. Anoikis resistance is considered to be a critical initial step in cancer cell metastasis. However, the mechanism by which tumor cells develop anoikis resistance is still unclear, in which the focal adhesion signaling pathway plays an important role. This review first outlines the composition of focal adhesion (FAs) multi-protein signaling complexes and then discusses the following three aspects: integrin expression changes of tumor cells, intracellular oxidative stress response, and FAs multi-protein signaling complex members activating downstream survival signaling pathways. The specific mechanisms of focal adhesion signaling pathways in tumor cell anoikis resistance and molecular characteristics of the anoikis resistance state are reviewed.
