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

Chronic inflammation promotes tumourigenesis through both mutation accumulation and persistent failure of tissue repair mechanisms to restore organised three-dimensional architecture. However, current frameworks of inflammation-associated tumourigenesis often treat fibrosis, repair failure, immune dysfunction, and tissue disorganisation as parallel processes, without adequately explaining how they become mechanistically linked across biological scales or why repair can remain active while tissue-level order continues to deteriorate. We aimed to develop a conceptual framework that integrates these processes and clarifies how chronic inflammation acquires early tumourigenic potential. This review synthesised evidence from studies of chronic inflammation, extracellular matrix (ECM) biology, mechanobiology, tumour microenvironments, and developmental biology. The literature was analysed to identify common mechanisms linking repair failure, ECM remodelling, multicellular organisation, and precancerous tissue states. The review introduces the concept of
