Review in Trends in cancer, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

While recent studies demonstrate that cancer can arise from mutant stem cells, this hypothesis does not explain why tissues without defined stem cell populations are susceptible to inflammation-driven tumorigenesis. We propose that chronic inflammatory diseases, such as colitis and pancreatitis, predispose to gastrointestinal (GI) adenocarcinoma by reprogramming differentiated cells. Focusing on colon and pancreas, we discuss recently discovered connections between inflammation and loss of cell differentiation, and propose that dysregulation of cell fate may be a novel rate-limiting step of tumorigenesis. We review studies identifying differentiation mechanisms that limit tumor initiation and that, upon reactivation, can prevent or revert the cancer cell transformed phenotype. Together, these findings suggest that differentiation-targeted treatments hold promise as a therapeutic strategy in GI cancer.
