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

Spatially resolved analysis of secreted enzyme activity at the single-cell level is critical for understanding extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling in cancer. This study introduces a label-free electrochemiluminescence (ECL) microscopy method that visualizes lysyl oxidase (LOX) activity secreted by individual tumor cells with subcellular resolution. The approach integrates ECM-localized enzymatic reactions with ECL signal amplification, where LOX-generated hydrogen peroxide enhances luminol-based ECL without external labels. The resulting ΔECL signal directly maps enzyme activity and its spatial heterogeneity across the pericellular region. This platform enables real-time monitoring of LOX inhibition dynamics, phenotypic classification of LOX activity within a breast cancer cell population, and visualization of asymmetric LOX secretion patterns that guide tumor cell migration. These capabilities offer mechanistic insights into ECM-driven tumor invasion and highlight the utility of ECL imaging for high-content single-cell analysis.
