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

Increasing evidence is being reported regarding the hypothesis that several proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines may promote tumor progression and affect the host antitumor response. However, the manner in which a local cytokine network operates in tumor development remains unclear. We reviewed the literature to examine the consequences of novel insights into inflammatory cytokines associated with gastric cancer progression. The Medline and EMBASE databases were searched for publications regarding the role of inflammatory cytokines in the development of gastric cancer. A number of studies have suggested that several proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines promote tumor progression through the direct activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and the upregulation of angiogenesis and adhesion molecules. Furthermore, these processes suppress host antitumor immunity, leading to tumor progression and metastasis. In patients with advanced gastric cancer, most cytokines that enhance or suppress host antitumor immunity appear to have elevated serum and local expression levels. The net cytokine environment fluctuates at various stages of tumor development. In conclusion, a more detailed understanding of the differential roles of malignant cell-derived and hostderived cytokines at different stages of the malignant process could, consequently, open new avenues for the manipulation of cytokine expression and function in cancer immunotherapy for gastric cancer.
