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 research is undergoing a paradigm shift from solely studying tumor cells to investigating systemic effects of cancer in the tumor macroevironment, with an emphasis on the interactions between host organs and tumors. The theory of homeostasis is an important basis for explaining biological functions from the perspective of the organism. Organic homeostasis relies on brain-body crosstalk through interception, immunoception, nociception and other supervisory processes, guaranteeing normal physiological function. Recent studies reveal that malignant tumors can hijack and exploit the brain and its central-peripheral neuronal networks to disrupt the body's homeostasis. Tumors likely disrupt normal brain-body crosstalk by establishing bidirectional brain-tumor connections. On the contrary, organism utilize these mechanisms to hinder tumorigenesis and progression. Standing at the perspective of brain-body crosstalk also promotes the conceptional evolution of cancer initiation and development, and more importantly, provides additional insight for cancer treatment. In this review, we summarize current knowledge about brain-body crosstalk under tumor-bearing contexts and propose some novel anti-cancer strategies.
