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

Tumor cell invasion is the key driver of metastatic dissemination, resulting in the development and progression of metastatic tumors at secondary sites, and remains the major cause of cancer-related death. Recent studies suggest that, in addition to protease-mediated degradation and chemotaxis-stimulated migration, tumor invasion is significantly influenced by physical surroundings. How tumor cells decode information about their shape deformation under mechanical stress and adapt their dynamic behavior to escape the confined regions remains largely unknown. This review highlights recent findings that illustrate mechanical cues in confined tumor microenvironment contribute to tumor progression. We also systematically discuss the role of compression-induced deformation in cell membrane topology and cytoskeletal remodeling, as well as its biophysical mechanisms in regulating tumor invasion from a biomechanical perspective.
