Review in Journal of neuro-oncology, 1994. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are specific inhibitors of the multi member family of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Since MMP function is fundamental to events that require tissue remodelling, TIMPs regulate normal biological processes by inhibiting MMPs, and are of importance in pathological conditions. In this chapter we review evidence for the suppressive role of TIMP-1 in the malignant progression of cancer and of its regulatory function in controlling invasion during blastocyst implantation and development.
