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

objectivesAngiogenesis is essential for growth and metastasis of solid malignancies. Tumor vessel count and expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a potent angiogenic factor, have been associated with prognosis. This study was designed to assess vessels density by using CD31 and CD105 (Endoglin) and their correlation with expression of VEGF and proliferative index (Ki67) in Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).

methodsWe examined these parameters in GBM specimens from 50 adult patients; referred to Al-Zahra hospital Pathology Lab between 2001 to 2006.These patients did not receive pre-operative therapy. Paraffin-embedded tumor specimens were immunohistochemically stained for CD31, CD105 (Endoglin), VEGF and Ki67 (proliferation index) monoclonal antibodies. Microvessel density (MVD) was evaluated by immunostaining for CD31 and CD105.Then the results were compared between the two and also with VEGF receptors and Ki67 index.

resultsCD105-MVD was significantly higher in Glioblastoma compared with peritumoral normal (14.28 vs. 6.68: P=0.012). We did not find such difference for CD31. The mean of CD105-MVD was significantly higher than CD31-MVD in Glioblastoma tissue (P<0.001) although there was a significant positive relationship between them (Pearson's r=0.630 P<0.001).The VEGF scoring for tumoral tissue was 12 % (score:1), 46% (score:2) and 42% (score:3).For peritumoral normal tissue were 92% (score:1) and 8% (score:2) . So they reach to statistical significance (Chi Square, P = 0001). Both MVD of CD105 and CD31 have significant relationship with VEGF (P<0.001).

conclusionWe suggest that Endoglin can be used as a specific and sensitive marker for evaluation of angiogenesis in Glioblastoma.
