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

Thrombospondin-1 is one of most important natural angiogenic inhibitors. The three thrombospondin-1 type 1 repeats (3TSR), an anti-angiogenic domain of thrombospondin-1, is a promising novel agent for anti-angiogenic treatment. In the present study, we showed 3TSR was biologically stable at least for 7 days in mini-osmotic pumps in vivo, and continuous administration of 3TSR decreased the dosage and improved the potency of therapy in an orthotopic pancreatic cancer model. By using different dosage and delivery routes, we proved that the anti-tumor efficacy of 3TSR was correlated with its anti-angiogenic efficacy. 3TSR treatment also decreased tumor vessel patency and blood flow. The results indicate the advantage of continuous administration of angiogenic inhibitors and provide rationale for using such delivery methods for cancer treatment.
