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

Due to its important role in regulating angiogenesis, vascular homeostasis and remodeling, and arteriogenesis in blood vascular and lymphatic endothelial cells, VEGFR2 stimulation has demonstrated promise in preclinical studies as an endovascular treatment for ischemic myocardial and peripheral disease. However, the short half-life of protein- and cytokine-based strategies and transduction inefficiency of vector-based modalities have hindered its clinical therapeutic applications. In the present study, we used a streamlined bioinformatics strategy combining ligand-based pharmacophore development and validation, virtual screening, and molecular docking to identify agnuside, a non-toxic, natural small molecule extract of Vitex agnus-castus possessing strong binding affinity, druggable physiochemical properties, and conformationally stable hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interactions with catalytically important residues within VEGFR2's active and allosteric sites. In-vitro proliferation, tube formation, and scratch wound migration assays provide evidence that agnuside promotes endothelial cell angiogenesis. Agnuside increases HUVEC proliferation with an EC
