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

The use of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-targeted agents for treating cancer has increased dramatically over recent decades. These drugs provide considerable benefits in terms of progression-free (PFS) or overall (OS) survival for cancer patients. Of particular importance to clinicians treating cancer patients by using VEGF-targeted agents is VEGF-inhibition-induced hypertension, proteinuria, thrombosis and hemorrhage. Aflibercept is a new, successful example of targeting VEGF for therapy of solid tumors. Though results from phase I and II clinical trials demonstrated aflibercept is well tolerated, it inevitably has severe adverse effects unique to this class of agents. In this review, we discuss the adverse effects associated with aflibercept (VEGF Trap), focusing on vascularassociated hypertension, proteinuria, hemorrhage, and thrombosis, and further discuss the mechanisms, significance, and potential management of these adverse effects.
