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

Platelet activating factor (PAF), a potent pro-inflammatory phospholipid, has been found to trigger tumor growth and angiogenesis through its G-protein coupled receptor (PAFR). This study was aimed to investigate the potential role of PAF in azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induced colitis-associated cancer (CAC), using PAFR antagonist Ginkgolide B (GKB). We found GKB up-regulated serum level of PAF-AH activity. As assessed by disease activity index (DAI), histological injury scores, leukocytes infiltration, and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, GKB ameliorated colonic inflammation and decreased tumor number and load in mice. GKB also decreased expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and microvessel density (MVD) in tumor. These results suggest that PAFR antagonist might be a potential therapeutic strategy for CAC.
