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

Glomeruloid vascular proliferation (GVP) is a diagnostic hallmark and links to aggressive behavior, therapy resistance and poor prognosis in glioblastoma (GBM). It lacks clinical approaches to predict and monitor its formation and dynamic change. Yet the mechanism of GVPs also remains largely unknown. Using an in situ GBM xenograft mouse model, combined clinical MRI images of pre-surgery tumor and pathological investigation, we demonstrated that the inhibition of tissue factor (TF) decreased GVPs in Mouse GBM xenograft model. TF shRNA reduced microvascular area and diameter, other than bevacizumab. TF dominantly functions via PAR2/HB-EGF-dependent activation under hypoxia in endothelial cells (ECs), resulting in a reduction of GVPs and cancer cells invasion. TF expression strongly correlated to GVPs and microvascular area (MVA) in GBM specimens from 56 patients, which could be quantitatively evaluated in an advanced MRI images system in 33 GBM patients. This study presented an approach to assess GVPs that could be served as a MRI imaging biomarker in GBM and uncovered a molecular mechanism of GVPs.
