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

Patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) have an increased risk of developing duodenal adenomas and adenocarcinomas. In previous trials, sulindac (a cyclooxygenase inhibitor) alone failed to significantly suppress duodenal tumorigenesis in FAP patients, but sulindac plus the tyrosine kinase inhibitor erlotinib significantly reduced duodenal polyp burden. Delker and colleagues report in this issue (beginning on page 4) on transcriptome analyses that aimed to identify the molecular targets mediating the response to sulindac-erlotinib. Their exploratory transcriptome analyses suggested that sulindac-erlotinib suppressed duodenal polyposis via inhibiting Wnt/β-catenin, EGFR, and cyclooxygenase pathways. This perspective discusses the significance and limitations of the study.
