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 detection of an increasing number of cytokines and the demonstration of autocrine and paracrine mechanisms perpetuating tumor growth prompted the investigation of the expression of the cytokines IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IFN gamma, Tac, and GMCSF in primary lymph-node biopsies of patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (n = 11), Hodgkin's disease (n = 13), and large-cell anaplastic lymphoma (n = 6) by means of Northern blot analysis and in situ hybridization (ISH); 15 of 28 cases had IL-6 message, predominantly in cases of Hodgkin's disease (HD) and large-cell anaplastic lymphomas (LCAL). Interferon gamma was found in about 50% of the cases among all entities. Other cytokine expression was rare except two cases of HD with high amounts of IL-4 mRNA. These results indicate that large amounts of growth factor transcripts are present in a variety of malignant lymphomas. The meaning of this expression is still unclear. It may be a loss of physiologic regulation within the cytokine network which may thus influence neoplastic cell growth as some cases have a quantity of cytokine expression which is similar or even above that of stimulated T cells. ISH demonstrates in individual cases that the expression is at least in part due to malignant cells.
