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

backgroundAngiogenesis is critical for the growth of colorectal carcinoma (CRC). Vascular endothelial growth factor is the most important angiogenic growth factor.

methodFifty cases of CRC operated at INHS Asvini were studied by using immunohistochemical labelling of the tumours by using CD34, p53, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).

resultsOut of the 50 cases, 31 (62%) were positive for p53; of which 80.7% showed high expression. Significant staining (> 20% tumour cells showing positivity) was seen in 33 patients (66%), while 34% were negative. Of the 33 positive cases, 57.58% showed high-grade VEGF positivity.

conclusionVascular endothelial growth factor correlated significantly with the stage and grade of disease. Intra tumours microvessel density as calculated from CD34 expression increased with the stage and grade of the CRC.
