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

Cancer treatment remains a challenge due to a high level of intra- and intertumoral heterogeneity and the rapid development of chemoresistance. In the brain, this is further hampered by the blood-brain barrier that reduces passive diffusion of drugs to a minimum. Tumors grow invasively and form new blood vessels, also in brain tissue where remodeling of pre-existing vasculature is substantial. The cancer-associated vessels in the brain are considered leaky and thus could facilitate the transport of chemotherapeutic agents. Yet, brain tumors are extremely difficult to treat, and, in this review, we will address how different aspects of the vasculature in brain tumors contribute to this.
