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

The regulation of adhesion processes between normal epithelial cells is an essential condition for the maintenance of appropriate tissular architecture and differentiation. Quantitative and qualitative alterations in these homotypic adhesions occur during the transformation of normal into malignant epithelium. How these complex alterations in various homotypic adhesions modify the ability of tumor cells to detach from the original neoplastic site, to grow and move as single or clumped cells, and to invade the stroma are current issues in tumor biology. This review contrasts tumor cell adhesion mediated by E-cadherin which is consistently decreased in carcinomas, with adhesion mediated by CD44 and CEA which are increased in the tumors. A model proposing to resolve the apparent paradox of simultaneous adhesion and anti-adhesion mediated by the same protein is proposed.
