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

In tissue engineering it is often necessary to assess angiogenesis associated with engineered tissue grafts. The levels of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGF-R2) is elevated during angiogenesis. The goal of this study was to develop and assess a novel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) molecular probe for the in vivo detection of VEGF-R2 in an experimental rodent model of disease. The possible use of the probe in tissue engineering applications is discussed. The molecular targeting agent we used in our study incorporated a magnetite-based dextran-coated nanoparticle backbone covalently bound to an anti-VEGF-R2 antibody. We used molecular MRI with an anti-VEGF-R2 probe to detect in vivo VEGF-R2 levels as a molecular marker for gliomas (primary brain tumors). Tumor regions were compared with normal tissue. Nonimmune nonspecific normal rat immunoglobulin G coupled to the dextran-coated nanoparticles was used as a control. Prussian blue staining for iron-based nanoprobes was used to confirm the specificity of the probe for VEGF-R2 in glioma tissue. VEGF-R2 levels in tumor tissues were also confirmed in western blots and via immunohistochemistry. Based on our results, in vivo evaluation of tissue angiogenesis using molecular MRI is possible in tissue engineering applications.
