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

aimTo evaluate the interaction between MCF-7 breast cancer cells and the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) and the ability of bevacizumab to modulate this process. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe implanted MCF-7 cells onto CAM and repeatedly added bevacizumab to a subset of eggs. We then evaluated the morphological and immunohistochemical profiles of CAM and MCF-7.

resultsMCF-7 cells entered the mesoderm and stimulated the mesenchymal cells to acquire vasculogenic and myofibroblastoid features. MCF-7 cells developed an estrogen receptor-, progesterone receptor-, p53- and Ki67-negative status and entered the epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Bevacizumab down-regulated the expression of B-cell lymphoma 2 protein (BCL-2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and E-cadherin in MCF-7 and inhibited vasculogenesis.

conclusionMCF-7 cells turn the mesoderm of CAM into a surrogate tumor stroma. CAM induces a triple-negative, non-proliferative but still anti-apoptotic status in MCF-7 cells. Although antivasculogenic, bevacizumab stimulates MCF-7 cells to acquire a more aggressive status.
