Insulin, insulin-like growth factor 1 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 serum concentrations in patients with adenomatous colon polyps.
Article in Przeglad gastroenterologiczny, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
introductionInsulin stimulates colonic mucosal cells proliferation directly and by influencing the concentration of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3).
aimTo estimate serum concentrations of insulin, IGF-1, and IGFBP-3 and to determine the relationships between them and colorectal adenoma location, dysplasia grading, histological type, and size. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe study included 60 patients with colorectal adenomatous polyps found on colonoscopy and confirmed pathologically. The control group consisted of 30 individuals with no positive findings on colonoscopy. All patients had their blood drawn for assessment of insulin, IGF-1, and IGFBP-3 serum concentrations.
resultsOne hundred and nine adenomas (6-40 mm in size) were found in 60 study patients. The average age of patients with multiple polyps was significantly higher than that of patients with single pathologies (61.1 vs. 56.7 years respectively (p < 0.05)). A higher adenoma incidence rate was observed in the distal portion of the colon than the proximal one (50 vs. 10 polyps respectively (p < 0.01)). Higher serum levels of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 were found in patients with adenomatous polyps than in the control group. The average IGF-1 concentration in patients with adenomas located proximally was also significantly higher compared to those located distally (p < 0.05). The insulin concentration was similar in both groups and not related to clinical data of patients.
conclusionsThe results indicate the role of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 in early carcinogenesis of the large intestine, and IGF-1 particularly in malignant transformation in the proximal part of the organ.
