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 is a common characteristic of tumours, and it is reasonable to assume that it has an influence on tumour growth, depending on the grade of malignancy. We therefore studied angiogenesis in 25 patients: 14 with glioblastoma multiforme and 11 with grade I meningioma. Our aim was to assess how angiogenesis conditions growth and necrosis. The patients underwent MRI with standard and perfusion sequences. We calculated the volume of each tumour; for the glioblastomas the solid portion was taken as the difference between the overall volume and the volume of any necrotic portion. In the glioblastomas, we found an inverse relationship between blood volume and the size of the tumour, whereas in the meningiomas there was of a direct relationship. These correlations confirm in vivo the knowledge about necrosis in glioblastomas and its relationship to their inadequate vascular network. On the contrary, grade 1 meningiomas show an equilibrium between their microcirculation and the cellular component.
