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

Insulin and IGFs play an important role in cancer initiation and progression, including ovarian cancer (OC). Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most frequent type of OC in women and it is the most lethal gynecological malignancy worldwide. Generally, insulin is associated with metabolism, whereas Insulin like growth factors (IGFs) are involved in cell proliferation. Hence, Insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) determines the bioavailability of IGFs in circulation. The interplay between these molecules such as insulin, IGFs, IGFBPs and insulin-like growth factor receptor 1 (IGF1R) may be crucial for ovarian cancer cell biology and cancer progression. However, the IGF1R inhibitors exhibiting potent activity on IGF/IGF1R also demonstrated activity against OC cells. The combination therapy of drugs may prove to be beneficial in clinical management of OC. This review describes both molecular and clinical associations between insulin and IGF1 signaling pathways in ovarian cancer. The data was collected using PubMed search engine with the following key words such as ovarian cancer, IGFs, IGFBP, IGF1Rs and ovarian cancer.
