Leukaemia inhibitory factor in gastric cancer: friend or foe?
Review in Gastric cancer : official journal of the International Gastric Cancer Association and the Japanese Gastric Cancer Association, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
IL-6 family cytokine leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) study has deciphered a variety of effects, in physiology as well as pathology. Despite the sudden arousal in LIF interest in cancers, its study in the gastric cancer (GC) context has been put aside. Only few related studies can be found in literature, most of them investigating IL-6/STAT3 signalling in GC, and not the particular LIF/LIFRβ signalisation. LIF/LIFR has opposing effects depending on the signalling pathways involved. This review relates the pro- and anti-tumorigenic aspects of LIF/LIFR in GC, taking also into account facts from other types of cancer. A better understanding of these issues would undoubtedly help postulate interesting hypotheses and perspectives for future LIF/LIFR study and its use in GC therapies, where options tend to be limited in number and efficiency.
