Angiopoietin-2 as a Prognostic Factor in Patients with Incurable Stage IV Colorectal Cancer.
Article in Journal of gastrointestinal cancer, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
purposeAngiopoietin (Ang), a ligand of the endothelium-specific receptor Tie-2 system, is associated with tumor growth and progression that depend on angiogenesis. The present study aimed to investigate the predictive potential of angiopoietin factors in incurable stage IV colorectal cancer (CRC) patients who have undergone primary tumor resection.
methodsThe study included 40 consecutive patients with incurable stage IV CRC who underwent primary tumor resection at our hospital between 2011 and 2015. Patients were divided into subgroups of low and high Ang-1, Ang-2, and Tie-2. Patient age and sex, tumor location, TNM stages, vascular invasion, chemotherapy, and overall survival were assessed.
resultsThe cut-off values of Ang-1, Ang-2, and Tie-2 were 0.4, 1.8, and 15.0 ng/mL, respectively. Overall survival was significantly longer in the low Ang-2 group than in the high Ang-2 group. High Ang-2 levels were associated with age, N stage, and chemotherapy. Immunofluorescent staining of Ang-2 revealed that endothelial cells and cancer cells expressed Ang-2 in each case.
conclusionsOur findings suggest that the serum Ang-2 level is associated with disease progression and is an important predictor of mortality in incurable stage IV CRC patients. Thus, it may be a useful prognostic biomarker in these patients.
