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

Asbestos is an environmental carcinogen, and asbestos-related diseases represent a global-scale environmental issue. Mesothelioma is an aggressive, malignant tumor that initially progresses along the surfaces of the pleura and peritoneum that is chiefly attributed to asbestos exposure. X-rays are commonly used for tumor screening in populations at risk for developing this cancer. We previously reported that the N-terminal of mesothelin may be a useful blood marker for early diagnosis method for mesothelioma and since then developed an N-terminal of mesothelin ELISA kit in collaboration with IBL Co., Ltd. and confirmed its utility as a diagnostic system for mesothelioma. Recently, we performed a large-scale research screening for mesothelioma and showed that it is a good model for early diagnosis in at-risk populations. The year 2015 is the 100th anniversary of Yamagiwa's great work on coaltar-induced carcinogenesis by formative stimulation in 1915 and the 10th year since 2005, "Kubota shock", people recognized that asbestos induces mesothelioma. We dedicate this review to this memorial year for environmental carcinogenesis.
