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

Chronic inflammation severely increases the risk for cancer development as seen in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Although the exact mechanisms of inflammation-associated tumor development remain to be shown, a role for the adaptive immune system has been implicated in colitis-associated cancer (CAC). In fact, CD4+ effector T cells, which promote chronic inflammation in IBD, create a tumor convenient environment, which can lead to cancer initiation, promotion, and progression. Thereby, the cytokines interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha constitute an important link between inflammation and tumor growth. Furthermore, cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, which usually are protective as part of the host antitumor immune response in sporadic cancer, can contribute to the aggravation of chronic inflammation and thereby support tumor development. In contrast, regulatory T cells, which have been shown to attenuate tumor immunosurveillance, act as potent suppressors of chronic inflammation and thus can have protective effects in CAC. This review discusses the role of the adaptive immune response and especially T cells in the pathogenesis CAC and possible implications for the therapeutic applications.
