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

background and purposeReceptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (RTKIs) targeted at VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) have proved to be attractive approaches to cancer therapy based on their ability to reduce angiogenesis. Here we have undertaken a quantitative analysis of the interaction of RTKIs and two VEGF splice variants, VEGF(165)a and VEGF(165)b, with VEGFR2 by studying nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) reporter gene activity in live HEK-293 cells. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: HEK-293 cells expressing the human VEGFR2 and a firefly luciferase reporter gene regulated by an NFAT response element were used for quantitative analysis of the effect of RTKIs on VEGF(165)a- and VEGF(165)b-stimulated luciferase gene expression. KEY

resultsVEGF(165)a produced a concentration-dependent activation of the NFAT-luciferase reporter gene in living cells that was inhibited in a non-competitive fashion by four different RTKIs (cediranib, pazopanib, sorafenib and vandetanib). The potency obtained for each RTKI from this analysis was similar to those obtained in binding studies using purified VEGFR2 kinase domains. VEGF(165)b was a lower-efficacy agonist of the NFAT-luciferase response when compared with VEGF(165)a. Analysis of the concentration-response data using the operational model of agonism indicated that both VEGF(165) isoforms had similar affinity for VEGFR2. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Quantitative pharmacological analysis of the interaction of VEGF(165) isoforms and RTKIs with VEGFR2 in intact living cells has provided important insights into the relative affinity and efficacy of VEGF(165)a and VEGF(165)b for activation of the calcineurin- NFAT signalling pathway by this tyrosine kinase receptor.
