The Role of Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma: From Pathogenesis to Diagnosis and Treatment.
Review in Cells, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive cancer of the pleural lining, primarily associated with asbestos exposure. Despite advancements in multimodal treatment, patient survival remains poor. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has emerged as a crucial process driving MPM pathogenesis, metastasis, and resistance to therapy. This review explores the molecular mechanisms underlying EMT in MPM, including key signaling pathways such as TGF-β, Wnt/β-catenin, and PI3K/Akt. We also discuss the diagnostic and prognostic significance of EMT-related biomarkers and emerging targeted therapies aimed at reversing EMT or exploiting EMT-induced vulnerabilities. Additionally, recent clinical trials, including the MARS 2 trial, are reviewed to provide insight into the evolving treatment landscape.
