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.
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 one of the key regulators of tumor neoangiogenesis. It acts through two types of high-affinity tyrosine kinase receptors (VEGF receptor-1 [VEGFR-1]/fms-related tyrosine kinase 1 [Flt-1] and VEGFR-2/kinase domain receptor [KDR]) expressed on endothelial cells. VEGFRs have also been detected on cancer cells, suggesting a possible autocrine effect of VEGF on their growth. We studied the expression of VEGF, VEGFR-1, and VEGFR-2 in human medulloblastoma cell lines (DAOY, D283Med, and D341Med) and investigated the possible autocrine mechanisms of VEGF on medulloblastoma cell proliferation. Reverse transcriptase PCR analysis showed the presence of VEGF and VEGFR mRNAs in all cell lines studied. Of the three VEGF isoforms, VEGF(121) and VEGF(189) were detected by Western blot analysis in all three medulloblastoma cell lines, whereas VEGF(165) was identified only in DAOY cells. Medulloblastoma cell lines expressed both VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2. We also demonstrated expression of VEGF and its receptors in medulloblastoma tumor specimens. Exogenous VEGFR-2 inhibitor reduced the VEGF-dependent cell proliferation of DAOY and D283Med cells. In DAOY cells, VEGF(165) induced phosphorylation of VEGFR-2/KDR and of downstream proteins in the signal transduction pathway. These data suggest a possible autocrine role for VEGF in medulloblastoma growth. Targeting VEGF signaling may represent a new therapeutic option in the treatment of medulloblastoma.
