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

backgroundGremlin 1 (GREM1) is a bone morphogenetic protein antagonist and a novel proangiogenic factor. Our aim was to evaluate the prognostic value of GREM1 expression and GREM1-related factors in tumor-associated angiogenesis in pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs).

methodsThe immunohistochemical expression of GREM1 and microvessel density (MVD) were examined in 35 patients with pancreatic NETs and then compared with other clinicopathologic characteristics, including the World Health Organization classification.

resultsThe presence of expression of GREM1 (p = 0.016) and high MVD (p = 0.020) were significant and favorable prognostic factors. Moreover, GREM1 expression was significantly associated with high MVD (p = 0.011). MVD was significantly higher in well-differentiated NETs than in well-differentiated or poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (p < 0.001).

conclusionsGREM1 expression was correlated with tumor-associated angiogenesis and was found to be a novel prognostic marker in pancreatic NETS. Our data support a tumor suppressor role of GREM1 in pancreatic NETs.
