ReviewTrends in endocrinology and metabolism: TEM2010
The proliferating role of insulin and insulin-like growth factors in cancer.
Review in Trends in endocrinology and metabolism: TEM, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT03813381 (The Impact of a Moderate CAlorie and Protein REstriction PROgram), which is not on this map. Cited by 195 papers, 9 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.
The Impact of a Moderate CAlorie and Protein REstriction PROgram (CARE-PRO) as an Efficient and Affordable Therapeutic Strategy in Patients With Barrett's Esophagus.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies have reported an increased risk of cancer in people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and obesity, related in part to hyperinsulinemia, secondary to insulin resistance. Hyperinsulinemia leads to increased expression of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I expression. In fact, increased insulin, IGF-I and IGF-II levels are associated with tumor growth in vitro, in animal models, and in epidemiological studies in humans. In this paper, we discuss the roles of insulin, IGF-I and IGF-II, their interaction with the insulin receptor (IR) and IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR), and their signaling pathways and regulation as these pertain to tumor growth. We explain how these pathways have been deciphered by in vitro and in vivo studies, and how they are being exploited in the development of targeted cancer therapies.
