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

In this perspectives article, we review scientific literature regarding de novo formation of vascular networks within tissues undergoing a significant degree of motion. Next, we contrast dynamic pattern formation in embryos to the vascularization of relatively static tissues, such as the retina. We argue that formation of primary polygonal vascular networks is an emergent process, which is regulated by biophysical mechanisms. Dynamic empirical data, derived from quail embryos, show that vascular beds readily form within a moving extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment-which we analogize to the de novo vascularization of small rapidly growing tumors. Our perspective is that the biophysical rules, which govern cell motion during vasculogenesis, may hold important clues to understanding how the first vessels form in certain malignancies.
