Matrix metalloproteinase-9, transforming growth factor-β1, and tumor necrosis factor-α plasma levels in chronic pancreatitis.
Article in Indian journal of gastroenterology : official journal of the Indian Society of Gastroenterology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe aim of the study was to investigate the plasma levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), transforming growth factor-β 1 (TGF-β1), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in chronic pancreatitis (CP).
methodsBlood samples were obtained from 71 patients with CP and 100 control subjects, and plasma levels of MMP-9, TGF-β1, and TNF-α were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
resultsThe plasma levels of MMP-9 (18.3 ± 3.0 ng/mL, p < 0.0001), TGF-β1 (215.4 ± 178.1 ng/mL, p = 0.0301), and TNF-α (111.2 ± 69.3 ng/mL, p < 0.001) were significantly elevated in CP compared to the control group.
conclusionThe role of elevated plasma MMP-9, TGF-β1, and TNF-α in CP requires further evaluation.
