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

Antiangiogenic drugs are currently tested in haematological malignancies. As these drugs target different angiogenic regulators, and as cancers are inherently heterogeneous, a detailed characterization of angiogenesis in individual cancers is needed. Hence, we measured bone marrow microvessel density (MVD), plasma concentrations of eight angiogenesis-related parameters and the expression in blood mononuclear cells of 40 angiogenesis-related mRNAs in 93 patients with haematological neoplasias (acute myeloid leukaemia; chronic lymphatic leukaemia; multiple myeloma (MM); or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL)) before start and after completion of cancer therapy. Compared with healthy individuals, the patients had significantly increased bone marrow MVD, especially patients with advanced stage disease. A novel finding was that patients with NHL also had increased bone marrow MVD. The plasma levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 were significantly increased. VEGF levels were highest in those who did not achieve complete remission after cancer therapy. The mRNA expression of IL-8 was upregulated 15-fold. Our data show that patients with haematological malignancies have increased bone marrow MVD; hence, supporting the notion that bone marrow angiogenesis plays a role in the pathogenesis and progression of these cancers. VEGF, IL-6 and IL-8 seem to contribute to the malignant phenotype.
