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

Metastatic recurrence is still a major problem for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in the pulmonary microenvironment are known to play key roles in the metastatic colonization and outgrowth of TNBC. However, the exact role that NETs play in determining the phenotypic plasticity and reactivation of disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) during acute relapse remains unclear. Here, we utilized an orthotopic, acute recurrent metastasis mouse model by transplanting 4T1 cells into wild-type or NET-deficient (
