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

Angiogenesis, the development of new blood vessels, is crucial for the growth of both primary tumors and metastases beyond a minimal size and the vasculature of tumors facilitates their metastatic spread. Inhibition of angiogenesis is thus seen as a potentially useful approach to anti-metastasis therapy, and is an area of active research and development. Here we discuss this therapeutic approach in the context of breast cancer. An overview of the contribution of angiogenesis to tumor development is provided and current treatment options for breast cancer are briefly summarized. Assessment of angiogenesis in primary breast tumors has been shown to provide independent prognostic information. There are opportunities for the application of anti-angiogenesis therapeutic strategies in the treatment of breast cancer. Clinical trial design must take into account the unique properties of anti-angiogenic agents to fully assess their potential clinical benefit.
