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

The present study was designed to evaluate the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and thioredoxin reductase 1 (TrxR1) in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) with and without intratumoral hemorrhage. Surgically resected human GBM samples from 20 patients who underwent surgery at our institute were extracted from the histopathological specimens and divided into two groups. A total of 10 samples from each type of GBM (World Health Organization grade IV, intratumoral hemorrhage-positive or -negative) were included in each group. VEGF, bFGF and TrxR1 expression was analyzed using immunohistochemistry and the results were compared between groups. VEGF and bFGF immunoreactivity was significantly higher in GBMs containing intratumoral hemorrhage. Furthermore, VEGF, bFGF and TrxR1 immunointensity was significantly higher in GBMs containing intratumoral hemorrhage. Thus, the present study demonstrated a higher VEGF, bFGF and TrxR1 expression in GBMs contain intratumoral hemorrhage, indicatiogn a role of VEGF, bFGF and TrxR1 expression in the promotion of tumoral angiogenesis and tumoral growth by complex mechanisms that require further elucidation.
