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

Angiogenesis is the formation of new vessels starting from pre-existing vasculature. Tumour environment is characterized by 'aberrant angiogenesis', whose main features are tortuous and permeable blood vessels, heterogeneous both in their structure and in efficiency of perfusion and very different from normal vessels. Therapeutic strategies targeting the three pathways chiefly involved in tumour angiogenesis, VEGF, Notch and Ang signalling, have been identified to block the vascular supply to the tumour. However, phenomena of toxicity, development of primary and secondary resistance and hypoxia significantly blunted the effects of anti-angiogenic drugs in several tumour types. Thus, different strategies aimed to overcome these problems are imperative. The focus of the present review was some principal 'alternative' approaches to classic antiangiogenic therapies, including the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) blockade, the use of oligonucleotide complementary to the miRNA to compete with the mRNA target (antimiRs) and the inhibition of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The role of blood soluble VEGFA as a predictive biomarker during antiangiogenic therapy in gastric, ovarian and colorectal cancer was also examined.
