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

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a pivotal role in angiogenesis, but is not the only player with an angiogenic function. Fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2), which was discovered before VEGF, is also an angiogenic growth factor. It has been shown that FGF2 plays positive pathophysiological roles in tissue remodeling, bone health, and regeneration, such as the repair of neuronal damage, skin wound healing, joint protection, and the control of hypertension. Targeting FGF2 as a therapeutic tool in disease treatment through clinically useful inhibitors has not been developed until recently. An isolated inhibitory RNA aptamer against FGF2, named RBM-007, has followed an extensive preclinical study, with two clinical trials in phase 2 and phase 1, respectively, underway to assess the therapeutic impact in age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) and achondroplasia (ACH), respectively. Moreover, showing broad therapeutic potential, preclinical evidence supports the use of RBM-007 in the treatment of lung cancer and cancer pain.
