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

purposeWe hypothesize that the controlled delivery of rhVEGF using a microsphere/hydrogel combination system could be useful to achieve active blood vessel formation in the ischemic hindlimb mouse model, which is clinically relevant for therapeutic angiogenesis without multiple administrations.

methodsA combination of poly(d,l-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres and alginate hydrogels containing rhVEGF was prepared and injected intramuscularly into the ischemic hindlimb site of mouse model, and new blood vessel formation near the ischemic site was evaluated.

resultsThe controlled release of rhVEGF from the combination system effectively protected muscles in ischemic regions from tissue necrosis. Interestingly, the number of newly formed, active blood vessels was significantly increased in mice treated with the rhVEGF-releasing combination system.

conclusionA microsphere/hydrogel combination system provided a useful means to deliver therapeutic angiogenic molecules into the body for the treatment of ischemic vascular diseases, which could reduce the number of administrations of many types of drugs.
