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

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) a member of the nuclear transcription factor superfamily is playing a role in colon carcinogenesis. Although not all in vivo models agree, PPARgamma seems to have suppressive effects in this process favoring apoptosis and inhibiting the cell cycle by inducing expression of apoptosis and senescence proteins. With the recent discovery that anti-diabetic class of drugs thiazolidinediones act through activation of PPARgamma, interest in this transcription factor has increased as it can now be pharmacologically activated in order to obtain tumor suppression. In addition, thiazolidinediones and other PPARgamma agonists possess PPARgamma-independent anti-tumor effects. Although PPARgamma agonists may not by themselves be capable to induce clinical tumor regression, their combination with chemotherapy drugs or other targeted therapies is worth pursuing in the treatment of colorectal carcinoma.
