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

Tumor-associated vasculature is a relatively accessible component of solid cancers that is essential for tumor survival and growth, providing a vulnerable target for cancer gene therapy administered by intravenous injection. Several features of tumor-associated vasculature are different from normal vasculature, including overexpression of receptors for angiogenic growth factors, markers of vasculogenesis, upregulation of coagulation cascades, aberrant expression of adhesion molecules and molecular consequences of hypoxia. Many of these differences provide candidate targets for tumor-selective 'transductional targeting' of genetically- or chemically modified vectors and upregulated gene expression can also enable 'transcriptional targeting', regulating tumor endothelia-selective expression of transgenes following nonspecific gene delivery. Tumor vasculature also represents an important site of therapeutic action by the secreted products of antiangiogenic gene therapies that are expressed in non-endothelial cells. In this review we assess the challenges faced and the vectors that may be suitable for gene delivery to exploit these targets. We also overview some of the strategies that have been developed to date and highlight the most promising areas of research.
