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

From the original concepts that tumors require a vascular supply to grow and that blocking angiogenesis could suppress tumor growth, the oncology field has witnessed clinical successes of VEGF-targeted antiangiogenic medicine. The field is now facing the challenge of overcoming resistance to VEGF-targeted therapy, and therefore additional angiogenesis inhibitors are being developed. Studies on how endothelial 'tip, stalk and phalanx cells' form sprouts have identified promising candidate targets with complementary mechanisms to VEGF. This Review provides a conceptual framework in which molecular discoveries and principles are discussed in light of clinical opportunities to develop new antiangiogenic agents.
