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.
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 factor (VEGF) was considered as a critical growth factor for tumor expansion. The roles of VEGF121, VEGF165, and VEGF189 in tumor growth have been intensely investigated; however, involvements of another extracellular matrix (ECM)-binding VEGF isoform, namely VEGF183 (six amino acids shorter than VEGF189 in exon 6a), in physiological or pathological processes are still unclear although the wide tissue distribution. To investigate the role of VEGF183 in carcinogenesis, we generated murine breast cancer cell (EMT-6) clones stably overexpressing VEGF183, VEGF121, VEGF165, and VEGF189 shortened as V183, V121, V165, and V189, respectively. Methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) results showed that VEGF183, like all other VEGF-overexpressing isoforms except for VEGF121, could enhance the proliferation of mouse breast cancer EMT-6 cells. Immunochemistry results displayed that overexpressing VEGF183 and VEGF189 in EMT-6 cells induced larger proportional dilated microvessels. On the other hand, results from cell wound healing experiments demonstrated that all of the VEGF-overexpressing isoforms could increase the chemotaxis of EMT-6 cells in vitro. In conclusion, our results supported the idea that overexpression of VEGF183 promotes murine breast cancer cell proliferation in vitro and induces dilated intratumoral microvessels, and it plays a dissimilar role in comparison with that of VEGF189.
