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 or neovascularization is a complex multi-step physiological process that occurs throughout life both in normal tissues and in disease. It is tightly regulated by the balance between pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors. The angiogenic switch has been identified as the key step during tumor progression in which the balance between pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors leans toward pro-angiogenic stimuli promoting the progression of tumors from dormancy to dysplasia and ultimately malignancy. This event can be described as either the outcome of a genetic event occurring in cancer cells themselves, or the positive and negative cross-talk between tumor-associated endothelial cells and other cellular components of the tumor microenvironment. In recent years, the mechanisms underlying the angiogenic switch have been extensively investigated in particular to identify therapeutic targets that can lead to development of effective therapies. In this review, we will discuss the current findings on the regulatory pathways in endothelial cells that are involved in the angiogenic switch with an emphasis on the role of anti-angiogenic protein, thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) and pro-angiogenic factor, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).
