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 tumor microenvironment encompasses a complex cellular network that includes cancer-associated fibroblasts, inflammatory cells, neo-vessels, and an extracellular matrix enriched in angiogenic growth factors. Decorin is one of the main components of the tumor stroma, but it is not expressed by cancer cells. Lack of this proteoglycan correlates with down-regulation of E-cadherin and induction of β-catenin signaling. In this study, we investigated the role of a decorin-deficient tumor microenvironment in colon carcinoma progression and metastasis. We utilized an established model of colitis-associated cancer by administering Azoxymethane/Dextran sodium sulfate to adult wild-type and Dcn
