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

Tumor angiogenesis has been related to the initiation as well as progression toward more aggressive behavior of human tumors. We will discuss genetic events underlying the initiation and progression of colorectal and pancreatic adenocarcinoma with a particular focus on the modulation of angiogenesis. A secreted fibroblast growth factor (FGF) binding protein (FGF-BP), which is an extracellular chaperone molecule for FGFs, has been shown to enhance FGF-mediated biochemical and biologic events and to be a crucial rate-limiting factor for tumor-dependent angiogenesis. Histochemical and in situ hybridization studies with archival samples show that FGF-BP is induced early during the initiation of colorectal and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. We will discuss the potential of this secreted protein as a serum marker to identify at-risk subjects.
