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

Vast preclinical and clinical evidence has made angiogenesis one of the hallmarks of cancer. In many human tumours, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been identified as the crucial mediator of this process. Initial studies suggested that angiogenesis, and VEGF in particular, could be inhibited without the risk of major side effects. After the pivotal data in first-line studies in patients with colorectal cancer, numerous clinical trials have been undertaken in patients with breast cancer. This review attempts to update these investigations and define the role of anti-VEGF antibody treatment in advanced breast cancer.
