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

Interactions between metastasizing tumor cells and host cells in target organs determine the outcome of metastasis. This review discusses the dual role of activated host endothelial cells in the metastatic process. On one hand, the upregulation of the expression of particular adhesion molecules leads to increased tumor cell binding, and the stimulation of angiogenesis provides the vascular support for the growth of already established metastases. On the other hand, endothelial cells can contribute to host anti-metastatic responses, e.g. by production of the cytotoxic molecule nitric oxide (NO) from arginine with the help of the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Using a well-characterized ESbL-lacZ mouse T lymphoma model with a typical three phasic growth profile, we showed during the period of growth retardation a stimulation of NO production by ex vivo isolated liver sinusoidal endothelial cells. The induction of NO synthesis in liver endothelial cells did not require the presence of Kupffer cells and appeared to be stimulated by and dependent on mature T lymphocytes. A breakdown of this NO synthesis coincided with the second tumor expansion phase.
