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

backgroundThe epidermal growth factor receptor family consists of four members, ErbB1 (epidermal growth factor receptor-1), ErbB2, ErbB3, and ErbB4, which all have been found to play important roles in tumor development. ErbB4 appears to be unique among these receptors, because it is the only member with growth inhibiting properties. ErbB4 plays well-defined roles in normal tissue development, in particular the heart, the nervous system, and the mammary gland system. In recent years, information on the role of ErbB4 in a number of tumors has emerged and its general direction points towards a tumor suppressor role for ErbB4. However, there are some controversies and conflicting data, warranting a review on this topic.

conclusionsHere, we discuss the role of ErbB4 in normal physiology and in breast, lung, colorectal, gastric, pancreatic, prostate, bladder, and brain cancers, as well as in hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, and melanoma. Understanding the role of ErbB4 in cancer is not only important for the treatment of tumors, but also for the treatment of other disorders in which ErbB4 plays a major role, e.g. cardiovascular disease.
