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 relationship between cellular differentiation and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) production by human colorectal tumor cells and their ability to form hepatic metastases was studied. Eight human colon cancer cell lines were injected into athymic mice using different routes of administration to characterize their metastatic potential. The four poorly differentiated, non or low CEA producing cell lines were poorly metastatic to the liver after intrasplenic injection. After intraperitoneal implantation the same cell lines were highly tumorigenic, and subsequently metastatic to the liver. In contrast, the four moderate to well-differentiated cell lines that produced moderate to high levels of CEA were highly metastatic to the liver following intrasplenic injection. After intraperitoneal implantation they were less tumorigenic, and metastatic to the liver. We conclude that in this system poorly differentiated non or low CEA producing colorectal cell lines have a lower metastatic capacity compared to the well-differentiated high CEA producing colorectal cell lines. These data correlate directly with the pattern of metastatic spread and clinical course observed in patients with these tumors, suggesting that degree of differentiation and level of CEA production may play a role in development of site-specific metastases.
