Review in Journal of neuro-oncology, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 76 papers, 4 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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

Gliomas are the most frequent primary tumors of the central nervous system in adults. Glioblastoma multiforme, the most aggressive form of astrocytic tumors, displays a rapid progression that is accompanied by particular poor prognosis of patients. Intense angiogenesis is a distinguishing pathologic characteristic of these tumors and in fact, glioblastomas are of the most highly vascularized malignant tumors. For this reason, research and therapy strategies have focused on understanding the mechanisms leading to the origin of tumor angiogenic blood vessels in order to develop new approaches that effectively block angiogenesis and cause tumor regression. We discuss here some important features of glioma angiogenesis and we present molecules and factors and their possible functions and interactions that play a role in neovascularization. In spite of the great progress that molecular biology has achieved on investigating tumor angiogenesis, many aspects remain obscure and the complexity of the angiogenic process stands for an obstacle in identifying the exact and complete molecular pathways orchestrating new blood vessels formation, which are necessary for the survival and expansion of these tumors.
