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

objectiveLymph node metastases are a poor prognostic factor. Additionally, responses of lymph node metastasis to therapy can be different from the primary tumor. Investigating the physiologic lymph node blood vasculature might give insight into the ability of systemic drugs to penetrate the lymph node, and thus into the differential effect of therapy between lymph node metastasis and primary tumors. Here, we measured effective vascular permeability of lymph node blood vessels and attempted to increase chemotherapy penetration by increasing effective vascular permeability.

methodsWe developed a novel three-dimensional method to measure effective vascular permeability in murine lymph nodes in vivo. VEGF-A was systemically administered to increase effective vascular permeability. Validated high-performance liquid chromatography protocols were used to measure chemotherapeutic drug concentrations in untreated and VEGF-A-treated lymph nodes, liver, spleen, brain, and blood.

resultsVEGF-A-treated lymph node blood vessel effective vascular permeability (mean 3.83 × 10

conclusionsLymph node effective vascular permeability can be increased (~fourfold) by VEGF-A. However, no significant increase in chemotherapy uptake was measured by pretreatment with VEGF-A.
