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

Prostaglandins (PG) are members of a large group of hormonally active fatty acids derived from free fatty acids. They are formed from arachidonic acid-the major PG precursor. Cyclooxygenase (COX)-1 and -2 are the rate-limiting steps in PG synthesis. COX-2 is overexpressed in many human non-endocrine and endocrine tumors including colon, breast, prostate, brain, thyroid, and pituitary. COX-2 has an important role in angiogenesis and tumor growth. Thromboxane synthase (TS) catalyzes the synthesis of thromboxane A2 (TXA2), which is derived from arachidonic acid and prostaglandin H2 and is a vasoconstrictor and inducer of platelet aggregation. TXA2 stimulates tumor growth and spread of some tumors and TS appears to have a critical role in tumorigenesis in some organ systems. In this review, we examine the role of COX-2 and TS in various non-endocrine tumors, especially colon, breast, prostate, and brain as well as in endocrine tumors. The accumulating evidence points to an increasingly important role of COX-2 and TS in tumor progression and metastasis.
