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

Canine melanoma is a relatively common and clinically significant neoplasm in veterinary oncology, with important prognostic implications. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), associated with changes in cell adhesion and increased metastatic potential, remains poorly characterized in this tumor type. We evaluated E-cadherin and N-cadherin expression in 32 primary canine melanomas and their regional lymph nodes, assessing associations with tumor progression and survival. Regional lymph node metastases were observed in 53% of cases. High N-cadherin expression in primary tumors correlated with metastasis and reduced survival, while E-cadherin expression showed no difference between metastatic and non-metastatic tumors. Notably, metastatic primary tumors exhibited a positive correlation between E- and N-cadherin expression. These results indicate that N-cadherin is a potential prognostic marker; and highlight the need for further studies on EMT as a therapeutic target to control metastasis.
