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

backgroundEndogenous angiogenesis inhibitors act as natural negative feedback in the focal area during the neovascularization process, and have less interference on physiological angiogenesis, and thus fewer negative side-effects. These inhibitors are potential candidates to combine with or substitutes for current popular anti-angiogenesis treatments to have synergistic effect. In this study, the effects of recombinant endothelial growth inhibitor protein (rhEDI-8t), a novel endogenous protein originated from collagen VIII, was investigated on ocular neovascularization (NV). Endostatin, a well-identified endogenous angiogenesis inhibitor, was compared in parallel and served as a positive control.

methodsThe inhibitory effect of rhEDI-8t on vascular endothelial cells was evaluated by a human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVEC) proliferation test and a bovine aortic endothelial cells (BAEC) migration experiment. The effect of rhEDI-8t on ocular NV was further investigated in mice with choroidal neovascularization (choroidal NV) induced by laser, ischemic retinopathy and transgenic mice with expression of VEGF in photoreceptors (rho/VEGF) respectively.

resultsRhEDI-8t inhibited the growth of HUVECs and migration of BAECs stimulated by basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Mice intravitreally treated with rhEDI-8t showed a significant reduction of choroidal NV, retinal NV and subretinal NV.

conclusionEndogenous angiogenesis inhibitor rhEDI-8t showed a potent anti-angiogenesis effect in both in vitro and in vivo experiments. It contributed to the suppression of ocular NV. The study suggested that rhEDI-8t could be a subsidiary potent therapeutic medicine in addition to anti-VEGF therapy in future clinical anti-angiogenesis treatment.
