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

All ovarian cancer subtypes spread via transcoelomic metastasis, where cells disseminate into the peritoneal fluid, resist anoikis, and form multicellular aggregates that invade the peritoneum. This represents the main driver of morbidity and mortality for peritoneal cancer patients. Mechanisms necessary for cancer cells to survive matrix detachment and initiate transcoelomic metastasis remain poorly defined. To address this, we identified a conserved detachment-sensitive gene signature activated shortly after matrix-detachment across multiple ascites-derived cancer cell lines. RHOV, an atypical, constitutively active and understudied member of the Rho GTPase family, emerged as a top upregulated transcript, which was confirmed in patient ascites-derived tumor cells. Functionally, loss of RHOV impairs anoikis resistance, multicellular aggregate integrity, migration and invasion, and completely abolishes transcoelomic tumor progression
