Decoding the adaptive survival mechanisms of breast cancer dormancy.
Review in Oncogene, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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
Breast cancer (BC) recurrence remains a major clinical challenge, leaving patients in perpetual uncertainty about disease relapse after primary treatment. BC dormancy, an adaptive survival state of disseminated tumour cells, is a key driver of both early and late recurrence. However, the mechanisms regulating BC dormancy remain poorly understood. Emerging evidence suggests that tumour hypoxia, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodelling, and therapy-induced stress drive dormancy by altering cellular metabolism, gene expression, and immune interactions, enabling long-term survival of dormant BC cells. With no dormancy-specific therapies currently approved, a deeper understanding of dormancy-associated survival mechanisms is crucial for identifying therapeutic targets and developing strategies to eradicate dormant BC cells, thereby preventing recurrence and improving patient outcomes. This review comprehensively examines major dormancy-inducing factors and the adaptive survival mechanisms of dormant BC cells. We also highlight critical gaps in preclinical models that hinder the translation of preclinical cancer dormancy insights into clinical applications and propose potential therapeutic strategies to prevent BC recurrence.
