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

Type 1 transforming growth beta (TGF-beta 1) is a multifunctional regulator of cellular differentiation, motility and growth. It is capable of inhibiting or stimulating these processes depending on cell type, cell density, culture conditions and TGF-beta 1 concentration. TGF-beta 1 regulates growth, in part, by inducing the expression and secretion of various types of collagen, which participate in the control of cell adhesion and migration, as well as growth. TGF-beta 1 also regulates cell growth by controlling the response to epidermal growth factor (EGF) and other growth factors, in ways that can either decrease or increase their growth-promoting effects. Alterations in both negative and positive growth responses to TGF-beta 1 play important roles in tumor progression. Loss of sensitivity to growth inhibition by TGF-beta 1 can occur as a result of decreased expression of collagen. Acquisition of sensitivity to growth stimulation, and autocrine transformation by TGF-beta 1, are associated with aberrant EGF receptor regulation. Aberrant growth factor receptor regulation by TGF-beta 1 may be mediated by a protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent pathway which inhibits degradation of growth factor receptor/ligand complexes. The evidence reviewed is consistent with a minimal two-step mechanism for autocrine transformation, which involves production of growth factor and enhanced cellular response as a result of aberrant membrane traffic. Defects in membrane traffic regulation may provide an explanation for common alterations in tumor cell response to both multiple growth inhibitors and growth stimulators, and may also suggest novel approaches to cancer chemotherapy.
