Mechanisms of breast cancer dormancy in bone metastasis.
Review in Clinical & experimental metastasis, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Bone metastasis remains a serious threat to breast cancer patients. This condition arises from the outgrowth of previously dormant tumour cells in this site. Dormant tumour cells are almost impossible to detect in human patents, and these cells acquire "stem like" characteristics rendering them resistant to current cancer therapies. Furthermore, the development of therapies to target this population has proved challenging. The bone marrow is a particularly permissive environment for tumour cell dissemination and dormancy, but the mechanisms regulating this process remain to be completely elucidated. Expansion of our understanding of the mechanisms underlying tumour dormancy is critical to the development of targeted therapies and thus, the prevention, or treatment, of metastatic disease. This review aims to explore mechanisms of tumour dormancy in bone, in detail, focusing specifically on breast cancer dormancy. In addition to subsequent discussion of traditional and new, state of the art, methods of studying dormancy to aid further research efforts.
