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

Efforts to treat tumors have routinely depended on disruption of cell proliferation by a variety of methods, many involving stimulation of apoptosis. We have previously shown that a truncated form of 24-kd basic fibroblast growth factor consisting of the amino terminal 86 amino acids inhibits migration of tumor and endothelial cells in vitro. In the present study, this peptide was tested for its ability to suppress angiogenesis and tumor growth using the murine dorsal skin-fold chamber model in vivo. Treatment of MCF-7 breast carcinoma tumor spheroids with this peptide resulted in cessation of the angiogenic response and a significant reduction in tumor size. Blood vessels that did form were poorly developed. In addition to inhibiting angiogenesis, the peptide also inhibited migration of Lewis lung carcinoma cells away from the tumor core before onset of angiogenesis indicating that the peptide-mediated inhibition of migration affects both angiogenesis and tumor growth independently. Despite inhibition of tumor cell migration, the peptide had no effect on neutrophil or eosinophil chemotaxis. This study demonstrates that the truncated form of 24-kd basic fibroblast growth factor is effective in suppressing tumor development in vivo through inhibition of angiogenesis as well as inhibition of tumor cell migration without compromising other homeostatic events.
