Circulating insulin-like growth factor-related biomarkers: Correlates and responses to calcium supplementation in colorectal adenoma patients.
Trial report in Molecular carcinogenesis, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Circulating insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) may be directly associated with colorectal cancer risk, and IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) is one of the most abundantly expressed binding proteins in various cancers. Calcium intakes, primarily from food, have been directly associated with circulating IGF-1, but whether supplemental calcium affects IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 is unknown. We tested the effects of 1.0 and 2.0 g of supplemental elemental calcium daily on circulating IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 concentrations in colorectal adenoma patients in a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial (n = 193). IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 were quantified using enzyme-linked immunoassay and quantitative Western ligand blot, respectively. We also assessed cross-sectional associations of these biomarkers with participants' baseline characteristics. We found no appreciable effect of calcium relative to placebo on circulating IGF-1, IGFBP-3, or the IGF-1:IGFBP-3 molar ratio. Mean IGF-1 concentrations were 11.1% higher in those with greater milk intakes (P = 0.05). Mean IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 concentrations were, respectively, 18.0% (P = 0.003) and 16.5% (P = 0.01) higher in men and were monotonically lower with increasing age (both P = 0.01). IGFBP-3 was 17.7% higher among those with higher relative to no alcohol consumption (P = 0.04). While these results support previous findings that IGF-1 concentrations are higher with greater milk intakes, and IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 concentrations differ according to sex and age, they provide no evidence to suggest that supplemental calcium appreciably affects circulating IGF-1, IGFBP-3, or the IGF-1:IGFBP-3 molar ratio in sporadic colorectal adenoma patients.
