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 constitutive expression of angiogenic and tumorigenic chemokines by tumour cells facilitates the growth of tumours. The transcription of these angiogenic and tumorigenic chemokine genes is modulated, in part, by the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) family of transcription factors. In some tumours, there is constitutive activation of the kinases that modulate the activity of inhibitor of NF-kappa B (I kappa B) kinase (IKK), which leads to the constitutive activation of members of the NF-kappa B family. This activation of NF-kappa B is associated with the dysregulation of transcription of genes that encode cytokines, chemokines, adhesion factors and inhibitors of apoptosis. In this review, I discuss the factors that lie upstream of the NF-kappa B cascade that are activated during tumorigenesis and the role of the putative NF-kappa B enhanceosome in constitutive chemokine gene transcription during tumorigenesis.
