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

Gastrointestinal malignant tumors exhibit a high incidence and mortality rate among all malignancies worldwide, making them a significant concern within the field of oncology. Targeted therapy for gastrointestinal tumors has become a hot topic in recent years, and its specific mechanism remains to be further elucidated. Secreted factors, including cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors, as components of the tumor microenvironment, play a crucial role in the progression of gastrointestinal tumors. Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) can activate these factors through JAK1/2 and STAT1 signaling (the IFN-γ/STAT1 pathway). This pathway is considered "a double-edged sword" and maintains a dual role in promoting or inhibiting tumor progression by activating different downstream factors. In this review, we summarize the functions, mechanisms, and key factors of the IFN-γ/STAT1 pathway that promote or inhibit gastrointestinal tumor progression and discuss therapeutic prospects for targets of the pathway.
