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

Vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) play important roles in angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth. In endothelial cancers, secreted VEGF proteins induce endothelial cell proliferation, promote cell migration, inhibit apoptosis and induce blood vessel permeabilization. VEGFA is frequently overexpressed in human colorectal cancers (CRC) and its expression correlates with tumor progression and invasiveness. In this study we examine the effect of knocking down VEGFA expression by infecting RKO colorectal cancer cells with lentiviral particles containing VEGFA-targeting RNAi constructs. We found that suppressing VEGFA dramatically decreased RKO cell proliferation, colony formation, invasion, migration and tumor growth. Furthermore, VEGFA knock-down reduced MAPK pathway signaling and Smac/DIABLO expression. These results suggest that lentivirus-mediated RNAi knock-down of VEGFA could be an effective therapy for the treatment of CRC.
