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

Inefficient delivery of drugs is a main cause of chemotherapy failure in hypoperfused tumors. To enhance perfusion and drug delivery in these tumors, two strategies have been developed: vascular normalization, aiming at normalizing tumor vasculature and blood vessel leakiness, and stress alleviation, aiming at decompressing tumor vessels. Vascular normalization is based on anti-angiogenic drugs, whereas stress alleviation is based on stroma-depleting agents. We present here an alternative approach to normalize tumor vasculature, taking into account that malignant tumors tend to develop at sites of chronic inflammation. Similarly to tumor vessel leakiness, inflammation is also characterized by vascular hyperpermeability. Therefore, testing the ability of anti-inflammatory agents, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or inflammation resolution mediators, as an alternative means to increase tumor drug delivery might prove promising.
