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

Antiangiogenic therapy using Semliki Forest virus (SFV) carrying Endostatin gene for malignant brain tumor was investigated to improve the therapeutic efficacy. The efficiency of SFV-mediated gene delivery was first evaluated for B 16 cells and compared with the efficiency in cells of endothelial origin (HMVECs). HMVECs are more susceptible to SFV infection than B 16 cells. For the in vivo treatment model, phosphate-buffered saline, SFV-LacZ, retrovirus vector GCsap-Endostatin, and SFV-Endostatin were injected to mice bearing B 16 brain tumors. A very significant inhibition of tumor growth was observed in the group that had been treated with SFV-Endostatin. A marked reduction of intratumoral vascularization was seen in the tumor sections from the SFV-Endostatin group compared with tumor sections from the SFV-LacZ or GCsap-Endostatin groups. Moreover, at day 7 after intravenous administration of SFV-Endostatin, the serum level of endostatin was augmented more than 3-fold compared to that after intravenous administration of GCsap-Endostatin. The results indicated that treatment with SFV-Endostatin inhibited the angiogenesis with established tumors. Gene therapy with Endostatin delivered via SFV may be a candidate for the development of new therapy for brain tumors.
