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

Since their introduction to the clinic some 30 yr ago, interferons (IFNs) have become standard therapy for a range of disorders, including malignant and benign tumors as well as various viral diseases. Although IFNs will induce remissions in some patients with cancer, they are of no benefit or, at best, lead only to minor improvements in the great majority of patients with malignant disease. One of the great challenges of IFN research is to understand the multiple ways by which IFNs influence the behavior of tumor cells and to identify the factors that underlie the resistance of some tumors to IFNs. This review is written with a focus on two anticellular effects of IFN, inhibition of proliferation and induction of apoptosis, possible mechanisms underlying the antitumor action of IFN. In addition, possible reasons for IFN tumor cell resistance are also discussed.
