Pilot study of angiogenic response to yttrium-90 radioembolization with resin microspheres.
Article in Journal of vascular and interventional radiology : JVIR, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00994370 (Measurement of Pro-angiogenic Markers in Patients With Hepatic Metastases Undergoing Selective Internal Radiation Therapy), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
purposeTo investigate the impact of radioembolization with yttrium-90 resin microspheres on the regulation of angiogenesis through observation of serial changes in a spectrum of angiogenic markers and other cytokines after therapy. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis prospective pilot study enrolled 22 patients with liver-dominant disease deriving from biopsy-proven hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (n = 7) or metastatic colorectal carcinoma (mCRC) (n = 15). Circulating angiogenic markers were measured from serum samples drawn at baseline and at time points after therapy ranging from 6 hours to 120 days. Using multiplex enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, several classic angiogenesis factors (vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF], angiopoietin-2 [Ang-2], basic fibroblast growth factor [bFGF], platelet-derived growth factor subunit BB [PDGF-BB], thrombospondin-1 [Tsp-1]) and nonclassic factors (follistatin, leptin, interleukin [IL]-8) were evaluated.
resultsIncreases in cytokine levels ≥ 50% over baseline were observed in more than half of all patients studied for many cytokines, including classic angiogenic factors such as VEGF, Ang-2, and Tsp-1 as well as nonclassic factors IL-8 and follistatin (range, 36%-82% for all cytokines). Baseline cytokine levels in patients with overall survival (OS) < 6 months differed significantly from patients with longer survival for Ang-2 (P = .033) and IL-8 (P = .041). Patients with OS ≤ 6 months exhibited transient increases in VEGF and PDGF-BB after therapy compared with patients with OS > 6 months.
conclusionsRadioembolization is associated with early transient increases in many angiogenic cytokines. In this small sample size, some of these changes were associated with worse OS. This research has important implications for future studies of radioembolization with antiangiogenic therapy performed during and after the procedure.
