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

Proper telomere maintenance is crucial for ensuring healthy cellular function. Telomeres have a tendency to reduce in length with cellular aging. Moreover several factors may promote telomere attrition. Other conditions, primarily due to genetic and inherited origins, can be characterized by unusually long telomeres. Both shortening and elongation of telomere length (TL) may lead to increased risk of cancer occurrence or cancer progression. Additionally, some hematopoietic dysfunctions may also be associated with telomere abnormalities. This review is aimed to describe and discuss main aspects of TL, in relation to carcinogenesis. The initial section describes main current methods for TL assessment, since the accurate and reliable TL measurements is a crucial issue in TL research. The various studies describing the association between TL and cancer risk are then reported and critically illustrated, with special interest on TL shortening in hematological malignancies, as well as in some peculiar non-malignant dysfunctions. Hence, a systematic analysis of the broad contribution of TL to cancer development is extensively appraised.
