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

Angiogenesis is essential in the early stage of solid tumor recurrence, but how a suspensive tumor is reactivated before angiogenesis is mostly unknown. Herein, we stumble across an interesting phenomenon that s.c. xenografting human lung cancer tissues can awaken the s.c. suspensive tumor in nude mice. We further found that a high level of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) was mainly responsible for triggering the transition from suspensive tumor to progressive tumor in this model. The s.c. suspensive tumor is characterized with growth arrest, avascularity, and a steady-state level of proliferating and apoptotic cells. Intriguingly, CD133
