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

Multiple lines of evidence suggest that cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) upregulation is an early event in the development of non-small-cell lung cancer. Preclinical data indicate tumors with upregulation of COX-2 synthesize high levels of prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂), which in turn are associated with increased production of proangiogenic factors and enhanced metastatic potential. These findings indicate that an increase in COX-2 expression may play a significant role in the development and growth of lung cancers and possibly with the acquisition of an invasive and metastatic phenotype. Consequently, inhibitors of COX-2 are being studied for their chemopreventative and therapeutic effects in individuals at high risk for lung cancer and patients with established cancers.
