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 effects of recombinant tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) on B16 mouse melanoma experimental metastatic ability and major histocompatibility complex (H-2b) antigens expression were studied. B16 cells exposed in vitro to TNF-alpha had an increased H-2 expression and were more metastatic than untreated cells. The simultaneous treatment with TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma amplified the enhancement of experimental metastasis and all other effects obtained with TNF-alpha alone. The B16 clone B78H1, selectively resistant to H-2 induction and to enhancement of metastatic ability by IFN-gamma, was not affected by treatment with TNF-alpha and with TNF-alpha + IFN-gamma. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the pleiotropic effects of TNF, some of which can have opposing actions in the complex tumor-host relationships.
