Customizable biomaterials as tools for advanced anti-angiogenic drug discovery.
Review in Biomaterials, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The inhibition of angiogenesis is a critical element of cancer therapy, as cancer vasculature contributes to tumor expansion. While numerous drugs have proven to be effective at disrupting cancer vasculature, patient survival has not significantly improved as a result of anti-angiogenic drug treatment. Emerging evidence suggests that this is due to a combination of unintended side effects resulting from the application of anti-angiogenic compounds, including angiogenic rebound after treatment and the activation of metastasis in the tumor. There is currently a need to better understand the far-reaching effects of anti-angiogenic drug treatments in the context of cancer. Numerous innovations and discoveries in biomaterials design and tissue engineering techniques are providing investigators with tools to develop physiologically relevant vascular models and gain insights into the holistic impact of drug treatments on tumors. This review examines recent advances in the design of pro-angiogenic biomaterials, specifically in controlling integrin-mediated cell adhesion, growth factor signaling, mechanical properties and oxygen tension, as well as the implementation of pro-angiogenic materials into sophisticated co-culture models of cancer vasculature.
