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

backgroundCancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are key stromal components of the tumour microenvironment (TME) that profoundly influence tumour progression. However, CAFs exhibit pronounced phenotypic and functional heterogeneity, and whether conserved CAF subtypes with shared functional hallmarks exist across different cancer types remains unclear.

objectiveWe sought to uncover universal CAF subtypes that transcend tumour origins, defining their core molecular signatures and pro-tumorigenic functions within the TME.

designWe constructed a pan-cancer CAF atlas through single-cell transcriptomic analysis of 554 specimens across 14 cancer types. To validate the findings, we performed further functional analyses, including in vitro migration and invasion assays, in vivo lymphatic metastasis models and mechanistic studies focusing on candidate signalling pathways.

resultsWe identified a conserved syndecan 1 (SDC1)

conclusionsOur study establishes SDC1
