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

Angiogenesis is a biological process that involves the formation of new blood vessels from the existing vasculature, and it plays a fundamental role in the development and progression of several types of cancer, including lung cancer. The angiopoietin/Tie2 ligand/receptor system orchestrates vascular integrity. In particular, Angiopoietin-1 activates the endothelial cell (EC)-specific receptor tyrosine kinase,Tie2,which is essential for preserving endothelial quiescence. On the other hand, Angiopoietin-2 acts as an inhibitor of the Angiopoietin-1/Tie2 signaling pathways, thus facilitating the destabilization of quiescent endothelium in cases of inflammation and cancer. Clinical studies have proven that high levels of Angiopoietin-2 indicate the development of non-small-cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC), while high levels of Angiopoietin-2 are strongly related to tumor angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, metastasis, and poor prognosis. Interestingly, the association of Angiopoietin-2 levels with the type of surgical approach makes Angiopoietin-2 a valuable factor in selecting the most suitable therapeutic strategy for lung cancer patients. The role of the Angiopoietin-1 and Angiopoietin-4 levels in NSCLC development requires further investigation. The present review focuses on the clinical impact of the Angiopoietin-1, Angiopoietin-2, and Angiopoietin-4 levels in patients diagnosed with NSCLC, emphasizing the interaction between them, and how they affect the development, progression, and metastasis of lung disease. Finally, it estimates the role of angiopoietins levels in the effective therapy of lung cancer patients.
