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

Autocrine and paracrine loop involving vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor have been described in haematological malignancies. However, scarce literature is present on angiogenesis in paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with studies showing controversial results. The aim was to study serum levels of VEGF and its receptors in paediatric ALL at the time of diagnosis and at the end of induction phase and to compare these levels with clinico-haematological parameters in these patients. Serum VEGF, VEGFR-1 and VEGFR-2 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunoabsorbant assay at diagnosis (day 0) and at the end of induction phase (day 35) in 30 newly diagnosed paediatric ALL patients and in 10 healthy controls. Median s-VEGF was significantly lower at day 0 as compared to day 35 (196.15 vs. 606.75 pg/ml:
