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

Cancer develops through the transformation of normal epithelial cells, followed by the expansion of hyperplastic cells within epithelial tissues and the subsequent generation of invasive cells capable of breaching the basement membrane. Basal delamination represents a pivotal early step that primes transformed cells for invasion and accounts for a large part of the lethality associated with carcinomas. Emerging evidence indicates that, upon the appearance of transformed cells, an intricate interplay between these cells and the surrounding epithelial neighbors acts as a potential driver of cancer cell invasion. Notably, certain transformed cells exploit cell competition for their own benefit to guide basal delamination. In this review, we delineate the physiological roles of cell competition in cancer cell dissemination and discuss the molecular cues underlying heterotypic cell interaction-induced basal extrusion.
