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

Research in the area of hallmarks of cancer has opened the possibility of designing new therapies based on modulating these cancer properties. We present here a screen designed to find chemicals that modulate epithelial-mesenchymal transitions (EMTs) in prostate cancer. For screening, we used a repurposing library and, as a readout, an FGFR2-based splicing reporter, which has been shown previously to be a sensor for EMTs. Various properties of cancer cells were assessed, signaling pathways investigated, and
