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

The vascular endothelial growth factor receptors (VEGFRs) can shape the neovascular phenotype of vascular endothelial cells when translocated to the nucleus, however the spatial and temporal changes in the intracellular distribution and translocation of VEGFRs to the nucleus and the organelles involved in this process is unclear. This study reports the effect of exogenous VEGF on translocation of VEGFRs and organelles in micro- and macrovascular endothelial cells. We showed that VEGF is responsible for: a rapid and substantial nuclear translocation of VEGFRs; VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 exhibit distinct spatial, temporal and structural translocation characteristics both in vitro and in vivo and this determines the nuclear VEGFR1:VEGFR2 ratio which differs between microvascular and macrovascular cells; VEGFR2 nuclear translocation is associated with the endosomal pathway transporting the receptor from Golgi in microvascular endothelial cells; and an increase in the volume of intracellular organelles. In conclusion, the nuclear translocation of VEGFRs is both receptor and vessel (macro versus micro) dependent and the endosomal pathway plays a key role in the translocation of VEGFRs to the nucleus and the subsequent export to the lysosomal system. Modulating VEGF-mediated VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 intracellular transmigration pathways may offer an alternative for the development of new anti-angiogenic therapies.
