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

purposeMalignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a common clinical problem in patients with advanced cancer. Evidence suggests that tumor-mediated angiogenesis and enhanced vascular permeability in the pleural wall are due to high levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of MPE. The present study was designed to test whether the recombinant adenovirus-mediated delivery of human endostatin (Ad-hEndo), one of the potent inhibitors of angiogenesis, would inhibit the formation and progression of MPE.

methodsWe developed a novel mouse model of MPE by injecting Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells directly into pleural cavity of C57BL/6 mice. To evaluate the therapeutic effects of endostatin in this MPE model, we injected the Ad-hEndo into the pleural cavity of MPE-bearing mice three times with the 3-day interval.

resultsWe found that this treatment resulted in significant reduction in pleural effusion volume, the number of pleural tumor foci, microvessel density, and vascular permeability, while it significantly prolonged the survival time. In addition, VEGF level of MPE in the group administered with the Ad-hEndo was obviously decreased as compared with that in the two control groups administered with null-adenovirus (Ad-null) or normal saline.

conclusionsOur work provides a rationale for future studies toward evaluating the effectiveness of the adenovirus-based endostatin therapy for MPE.
