PDGF-CC underlies resistance to VEGF-A inhibition and combinatorial targeting of both suppresses pathological angiogenesis more efficiently.
Article in Oncotarget, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Anti-VEGF-A therapy has proven to be effective for many neovascular diseases. However, drug resistance to anti-VEGF-A treatment can develop. Also, not all patients with neovascular diseases are responsive to anti-VEGF-A treatment. The mechanisms underlying these important issues remain unclear. In this study, using different model systems, we found that inhibition of VEGF-A directly upregulated PDGF-CC and its receptors in multiple cell types in pathological angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, we further revealed that combinatorial targeting of VEGF-A and PDGF-CC suppressed pathological angiogenesis more efficiently than monotherapy. Given the potent angiogenic activity of PDGF-CC, our findings suggest that the development of resistance to anti-VEGF-A treatment may be caused by the compensatory upregulation of PDGF-CC, and combined inhibition of VEGF-A and PDGF-CC may have therapeutic advantages in treating neovascular diseases.
