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

Members of the TGF-beta superfamily exhibit various biological activities, and perturbations of their signaling are linked to certain clinical disorders including cancer. The role of TGF-beta signaling as a tumor suppressor pathway is best illustrated by the presence of inactivating mutations in genes encoding TGF-beta receptors and Smads in human carcinomas. This perspective is further supported by studies of tumor development in mouse models after modulation of receptors and Smads. TGF-beta also controls processes such as cell invasion, immune regulation, and microenvironment alterations that cancer cells may exploit to their advantage for their progression. Consequently, the output of a TGF-beta response is highly situation dependent, across different tissues, and also in cancer in general. Understanding the mechanisms of TGF-beta superfamily signaling is thus important for the development of new ways to treat various types of cancer. This review focuses on recent advances in understanding the Smad dependent TGF-beta pathway as it relates to human carcinogenesis.
