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

The insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP) family consists of seven members, which are known for their roles in regulating canonical insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling and, more recently, a variety of non-canonical signaling pathways. This review will explore shared pathologic mechanisms amongst the IGFBP family members in diseases like cancer and fibrosis which reveal the unique and redundant properties of this critical family of proteins and provides unique insight into how their regulation is not only relevant to cell metabolism, but also plays an emerging role in diverse processes including immunity, TGF-β signaling, hypoxia and angiogenesis, and senescence. Moreover, these molecules have shown promise both as biomarkers and therapeutics, and a deeper understanding of this system is needed to appreciate how leveraging their regulation may be able to ameliorate diverse organ pathologies.
