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 effect of intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of recombinant human interleukin-1 beta (rhIL-1 beta) was studied in three i.p. nude mouse xenograft models of human ovarian cancer (HU, OS, and LA). Intraperitoneal rhIL-1 beta administration led to a dose dependent replacement of peritoneal ascitic tumour with solid tumours attached to the peritoneum and intraabdominal viscera in two (HU and LA) out of the three xenograft models. In the third xenograft model (OS), low doses of rhIL-1 beta (10 ng day) promoted micrometastatic peritoneal implants of tumour, but higher doses of rhIL-1 beta (1 microgram day) had a marked antitumour effect. This was due to direct cytotoxicity for tumour cells and was not related to peritoneal neutrophil influx induced by rhIL-1 beta. Recombinant human TNF (rhTNF) also promoted tumour implantation in all three xenograft models, but its antitumour effects differed from rhIL-1 beta. TNF increased the survival of HU and LA bearing mice, but had no antitumour effect in the OS xenograft model. Analysis of peritoneal fluid and tumour xenografts showed that TNF induced murine IL-1 in the tumour bearing mice. The magnitude of IL-1 induction indicated that TNF induced IL-1 did not contribute significantly to its effects.
