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

High-grade gliomas (HGGs) are vascular tumors that represent attractive targets for antiangiogenic therapies. In this Review, we present the rationale and clinical trial evidence for targeting angiogenesis in HGGs, focusing predominantly on agents that target vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors. Bevacizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody against VEGF, was recently approved by the FDA for treatment of recurrent glioblastoma. Bevacizumab prolongs progression-free survival and controls peritumoral edema, but its effects on overall survival remain to be determined. Other inhibitors of VEGF, VEGF receptors and other proangiogenic signaling pathways are being evaluated. Antiangiogenic therapies are well tolerated, although potentially serious adverse events can occasionally occur, and resistance to antiangiogenic therapy inevitably develops. Mechanisms of resistance include upregulation of alternative proangiogenic pathways, and increased perivascular tumor growth. Tumor progression on antiangiogenic agents is a challenging problem for which no effective salvage therapy has been identified. Combining these agents with radiation therapy, cytotoxic chemotherapy, other targeted molecular agents, or anti-invasion therapies could be helpful. The international Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Working Group has developed consensus treatment response criteria for HGG that account for the complex effects of antiangiogenic drugs.
