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

Bevacizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A), was used in combination with traditional chemotherapy as the first line treatment for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and advanced ovarian cancer. However, it shows limited efficacy for human triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Bevacizumab shows potent anti-angiogenesis activity, meanwhile, it also increases invasive and metastatic properties of TNBC cells by activiting Wnt/β-Catenin pathway. To overcome this problem, and fully utilize its potency against cancer, further synergistic strategy is recommended to be developed, especially the concurrent use with those Wnt-targeting agents. Here, by screening a small library of traditional Chinese medicine, we identified a Chinese herb derived Oxymatrine, which could target Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and compromise the oncogenic effects of Bevacizumab. Bevacizumab was validated to induce epithelial-mesenchymal cell transformation (EMT) and cancer stem-like properties of TNBC cells in hypoxia/nutritional stress environment. On the contrary, Oxymatrine reversed the EMT phenotype and depleted the subpopulation of TNBC stem cells induced by Bevacizumab. Oxymatrine enhanced the anti-tumor effects of Bevacizumab
