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

Endothelial cells (ECs) line the quiescent vasculature but can form new blood vessels (a process termed angiogenesis) in disease. Strategies targeting angiogenic growth factors have been clinically developed for the treatment of malignant and ocular diseases. Studies over the past decade have documented that several pathways of central carbon metabolism are necessary for EC homeostasis and growth, and that strategies that stimulate or block EC metabolism can be used to promote or inhibit vessel growth, respectively. In this Review, we provide an updated overview of the growing understanding of central carbon metabolic pathways in ECs and the therapeutic opportunities for targeting EC metabolism.
