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

Ligands and their tyrosine kinase (TK) receptors regulate a variety of biological systems in animals. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor (Flt/VEGFR family) system play a crucial role not only in physiological but also in most parts of pathological angiogenesis including cancer. Flt-1/VEGFR-1 and KDR/VEGFR-2 bind VEGF-A but have different functions on angiogenesis at early embryogenesis: Flt-1 has a negative role by trapping ligands, whereas KDR (Flk1 in mice) exerts a strong positive signal, resulting in a balance in blood vessel formation. At adult stages, however, both VEGFRs contribute to pathological angiogenesis either directly or through stimulation of migration/activation of macrophage lineage cells and stimulate tumor growth, metastasis, and inflammation. VEGFRs activate downstream signaling of the phospholipase Cγ-protein kinase C-MAP kinase pathway but not Ras pathway for cell proliferation. The VEGF-C/D and Flt-4/VEGFR-3 system regulates lymphangiogenesis. Thus, VEGFs as well as these receptor TKs are attractive targets for suppressing pathological angiogenesis.
