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

Lymphatic vessels are a kind of heterogeneous and versatile component of the lymphatic system, with a unique ability to respond to environmental changes in different organs. The heterogeneity and plasticity of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) and defective lymphatic architecture are critical for organ-specific lymphatic function. Moreover, lymphatic vessels have a dual effect on tumor microenvironment (TME), and lymphangiogenesis, an active and dynamic player, is a hallmark of cancer progression and treatment resistance. Dysregulation of lymphatic vessels and uncontrolled lymphangiogenesis contribute to the pathogenesis of many diseases, including cancer. Increasing evidence has indicated that lymphangiogenesis provides a critical target for inhibiting lymphatic metastasis, in which immune checkpoint inhibitors, either alone or combined with chemotherapy, may have a therapeutic value. This article reviews the current status of tumor-associated lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic remodeling, as well as the crosstalk among LECs, immune cells and cancer cells, which will help to further understand the role of lymphangiogenesis in cancer progression, metastasis, and therapy.
