Integrins as Key Mediators of Metastasis.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Metastasis is currently becoming a major clinical concern, due to its potential to cause therapeutic resistance. Its development involves a series of phases that describe the metastatic cascade: preparation of the pre-metastatic niche, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, dissemination, latency and colonization of the new tissue. In the last few years, new therapeutic targets, such as integrins, are arising to face this disease. Integrins are transmembrane proteins found in every cell that have a key role in the metastatic cascade. They intervene in adhesion and intracellular signaling dependent on the extracellular matrix and cytokines found in the microenvironment. In this case, integrins can initiate the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, guide the formation of the pre-metastatic niche and increase tumor migration and survival. Integrins also take part in the tumor vascularization process necessary to sustain metastasis. This fact emphasizes the importance of inhibitory therapies capable of interfering with the function of integrins in metastasis.
