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

The tightly controlled and transient acquisition of a motile phenotype by otherwise static epithelial cells (epithelial-mesenchymal transition, EMT) enables the repair of a damaged epithelium. Conversely, a persistent, dysregulated, and exacerbated EMT characterizes epithelial malignancies such as breast carcinoma (BC) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), being key for their metastasis and for their escaping anti-tumor immune responses. Herein, we investigated the relationship between EMT signatures and immune cell infiltration across OSCC and metastatic BC with the aim to identify prognostic markers and/or therapeutic targets common to both these malignancies, or unique to OSCC or BC. To this end, we analyzed publicly available transcriptomic datasets to identify coding genes involved in EMT with strong correlation to immune cell signatures. The methodology consisted of data selection, correlation analysis, signature overlap determination, and validation using independent databases. Results indicated that in both OSCC and BC the expression of EMT-related genes is strongly associated with that of immunosuppressive and pro-tumor macrophages. Notably, the
