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

Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and its binding proteins (BPs) have been associated with breast cancer risk, especially high IGF-I concentrations and the biologically active fraction estimated as the IGF-I/IGFBP-3 molar ratio. The relation of circulating IGF-I and IGFBP-3 concentrations with risk of breast cancer recurrence has been less documented. In addition a new member to a sub-group of the IGFBP-superfamily was recently identified, the low affinity IGFBP-7. To date, the role of systemic IGFBP-7 in breast cancer progression has not been investigated. Our purpose was to establish whether circulating IGF-I, IGFBP-3, and IGFBP-7 levels are related to recurrence-risk in breast cancer. A case-control study was nested within the population-based BCBlood cohort of 853 breast cancer patients diagnosed 2002-2010 in Sweden and followed through 2012. In total, 95 patients with recurrence and 170 controls were matched on age and tumor characteristics. Plasma IGF analytes and tumor membrane IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR
