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

Transforming growth factor (TGF)-betas are plausible candidate tumor suppressors in the breast. They also have oncogenic activities under certain circumstances, however. Genetically altered mouse models provide powerful tools to analyze the complexities of TGF-beta action in the context of the whole animal. Overexpression of TGF-beta can suppress tumorigenesis in the mammary gland, raising the possibility that use of pharmacologic agents to enhance TGF-beta function locally might be an effective method for the chemoprevention of breast cancer. Conversely, loss of TGF-beta response increases spontaneous and induced tumorigenesis in the mammary gland. This confirms that endogenous TGF-betas have tumor suppressor activity in the mammary gland, and suggests that the loss of TGF-beta receptors seen in some human breast hyperplasias may play a causal role in tumor development.
