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

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is the principal agent that increases microvascular permeability during physiological and pathological angiogenesis. VEGF is differentially spliced to form two families of isoforms: VEGF(xxx), and VEGF(xxx)b. Whereas VEGF(165) stimulates angiogenesis, VEGF(165)b is anti-angiogenic. To determine the effect of VEGF(165)b on permeability, hydraulic conductivity (L(p)) was measured in individually perfused microvessels in the mesentery of frogs and rats. As with VEGF(165), VEGF(165)b increased L(p) in amphibian (2.4 +/- 0.3-fold) and mammalian (1.9 +/- 0.2-fold) mesenteric microvessels. A dose-response relationship showed that VEGF(165)b (EC(50), 0.65 pm) was approximately 25 times more potent than VEGF(165) (EC(50), 16 pm) in amphibian microvessels. VEGF(165) has been shown to increase permeability through VEGF receptor 2 (VEGF-R2) signalling. However, VEGF(165)b increased L(p) of frog vessels to the same extent in the presence of the VEGF-R2 inhibitor ZM323881, indicating that it does not increase permeability via VEGF-R2 signalling, and was inhibited by the VEGF receptor inhibitor SU5416 at doses that are specific for VEGF receptor 1 (VEGF-R1). VEGF(165)b, in contrast to VEGF(165), did not result in a sustained chronic increase in L(p). These results show that although VEGF(165)b is anti-angiogenic in the mesentery, it does signal in endothelial cells in vivo resulting in a transient, but not sustained, increase in microvascular L(p), probably through VEGF-R1.
