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

Thrombospondins (TSPs) are a family of extracellular matrix proteins that regulate tissue genesis and remodeling. TSP-1 plays a pivotal role in the regulation of both physiological and pathological angiogenesis. The inhibitory effects of TSP-1 on angiogenesis have been established in numerous experimental models. Among other TSP members, TSP-2 has equivalent domain structure as TSP-1 and shares most functions of TSP-1. The mechanisms by which TSP-1 and -2 inhibit angiogenesis can be broadly characterized as direct effects on vascular endothelial cells and indirect effects on the various angiogenic regulators. The fact that TSP-1 and -2 are potent endogenous angiogenic inhibitors has prompted studies to explore their therapeutic applications, and detailed understanding of the mechanisms of action of TSP-1 and -2 has facilitated the design of therapeutic strategies to optimize these activities. The therapeutic effects can be achieved by up-regulation of endogenous TSPs, or by the delivery of recombinant proteins or synthetic peptides that contain sequences from the angiogenic domain of TSP-1. In this article, we review the progress in thrombospondin-based antiangiogenic therapy and discuss the perspectives on the significant challenges that remain.
