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

Somatic human cells contain a diploid genome consisting of 23 pairs of chromosomes. The maintenance of this diploid state is essential across all layers of biological organization, ranging from the physiology of individual cells to the proper regulation of tissue homeostasis and organismal development. Most cancer cells, however, harbor an aneuploid genome with an abnormal number of chromosomes, including whole and/or partial chromosome gains and losses. These alterations arise as a consequence of mitotic chromosome segregation errors and/or ongoing chromosomal instability (CIN). While aneuploidy usually imposes a fitness cost to nontransformed cells, certain recurrent aneuploidies confer adaptive advantages that are subjected to positive selection throughout tumorigenesis. In this review, we discuss how aneuploidy impacts cellular physiology, fitness, and adaptability in the context of cancer development. We also examine how the aneuploid state and CIN can create vulnerabilities that may be exploited for therapeutic intervention.
