Serum cytokine profile as a potential prognostic tool in colorectal cancer patients - one center study.
Article in Reports of practical oncology and radiotherapy : journal of Greatpoland Cancer Center in Poznan and Polish Society of Radiation Oncology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
aimComparison of 14 cytokines levels between a control group and prospectively enrolled CRC patients to confirm their significance in CRC development. We tested if a model based on 14 cytokines levels could predict prognosis in Caucasian CRC patients treated with 5-FU based chemotherapy.
backgroundNovel prognostic tools in colorectal cancer (CRC) are necessary to optimize treatment, reduce toxicity and chemotherapy (CHT) costs. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe assessed prognostic significance of 14 cytokines: IL-1 beta, IL-1RA, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-9, IL-10, IL12p70, IL-13, IL-17A in 75 prospectively enrolled CRC patients before initiation of palliative or adjuvant CHT and in 22 control subjects. Readings were taken using the Bio-Plex 200 System. Response to treatment was assessed after 6 months from initiation of CHT. The treated group was divided depending on the response into a progressors (death, progression of disease) and non-progressors group (stable disease, partial response, complete response).
resultsWe found that increased concentration of IL-8 was a negative prognostic factor in the whole group and palliative subgroup, whereas increased level of IL-10, IL-7, and IL-12p70 was a negative predictor in the adjuvant group CHT.
conclusionsWe proposed a statistical model based on circulating cytokine levels, showing a good prognostic value in prediction of the response to CHT (AUC = 0.956). The model, including combined IL-2, IL-8, IL-10 and IL-13 levels, established in the whole treated group, should be validated in larger trials.
