Assessment of Angiogenesis in Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Based on Serum Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Assay.

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
introductionVascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) is a key proangiogenic cytokine. The role of angiogenesis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is still unclear. The purpose of the study was to assess angiogenesis in children with ALL based on serum VEGFA level determined at diagnosis and at remission with further participant subdivision into different risk groups. MATERIALS AND
methodsForty children, aged 3-12 years (mean age: 8 years) with newly diagnosed ALL, were enrolled in the study. The control group (Group C) was twenty healthy children. According to the risk assessment, they were classified into a standard-risk group, an intermediate-risk group (IRG), or a high-risk group (HRG).
resultsThe median serum VEGFA levels at diagnosis were significantly higher in IRG and HRG as compared to Group C. The VEGFA levels at remission were significantly higher in all study groups, as compared to Group C. The differences in median values of serum VEGFA levels between the study groups both at diagnosis and at remission were not statistically significant.
conclusionsThe angiogenesis in ALL seems to be intensified at diagnosis as a result of neoplasmatic bone marrow rebuilding and at remission as its intensive recovering.
