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

Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a dynamic cellular process characterized by a phenotypic-functional switch of cells from endothelial-to-mesenchymal traits. Many studies have identified EndMT as a key driver of tumor growth and progression. EndMT supports tumor cell proliferation by creating a tumor microenvironment that facilitates cancer cell survival. Notably, EndMT is an important source of cancer-associated fibroblasts, leads to immune dysregulation and immune escape, and supports metastasis and resistance to therapy. Hence, understanding the intricate relationship between EndMT and cancer progression offers exciting new avenues for therapeutic intervention. This review aims to describe the central role of EndMT in tumor progression, highlighting the molecular mechanisms underlying this endothelial alteration and its significant involvement at all stages of tumor progression.
