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

Monitoring the changes in tumor vascularity is important for anti-angiogenic therapy assessment with therapeutic implications. However, monitoring vascularity is quite challenging due to the lack of appropriate imaging techniques. Here, we describe a non-invasive imaging technique using optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) to track vascular changes in prostate cancer treated with an anti-angiogenic agent, DC101, on a mouse ear xenograft model. Approximately 1-3 days after the initial therapy, OR-PAM imaging detected tumor vascular changes such as reduced vessel tortuosity, decreased vessel diameter and homogenized intratumoral vessel distribution. These observations indicated vessel normalization, which was pathologically validated as increased fractional pericyte coverage, functional perfusion and drug delivery of the vessels. After four DC101 interventions, OR-PAM imaging eventually revealed intratumoral vessel regression. Therefore, OR-PAM imaging of the vasculature offers a promising method to study anti-angiogenic drug mechanisms of action in vivo and holds potential in monitoring and guiding anti-angiogenic therapy.
