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

Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a biological process by which epithelial cells increase their motility and acquire invasive capacity. It represents a crucial driver of cancer metastasis and peritoneal dissemination. EMT plasticity, with cells exhibiting hybrid epithelial/mesenchymal states, and its reverse process, mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET), allows them to adapt to different microenvironments and evade therapeutic intervention. Resistance to conventional treatments, including chemotherapy, is a major problem. Therapies targeting EMT may inhibit tumour cell migration and invasion, while affecting normal cells and repair mechanisms, resulting in potential side effects. This paper addresses the question of the impact of EMT status on cancers with potential spread to the peritoneum, which has remained unclear in literature. Relevant studies were selected from 2000 to 2024. Three macrosections were analysed: (i) pathological characteristics, (ii) surgical implications and (iii) oncological therapies. The focus was on survival and peritoneal recurrence time in patients who underwent surgical treatment.
