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

Endometrial cancer remains the most prevalent gynecologic cancer with continued rising incidence. A less common form of this cancer is uterine serous cancer, which represents 10% of endometrial cancer cases. However, this is the most aggressive cancer. The objective was to assess whether inhibiting the receptor tyrosine kinase AXL with AVB-500 in combination with bevacizumab would improve response in uterine serous cancer. To prove this, we conducted multiple angiogenesis assays including tube formation assays and angiogenesis invasion assays. In addition, we utilized mouse models with multiple cells lines and subsequently analyzed harvested tissue through immunohistochemistry CD31 staining to assess microvessel density. The combination treatment arms demonstrated decreased angiogenic potential in each assay. In addition, intraperitoneal mouse models demonstrated a significant decrease in tumor burden in two cell lines. The combination of AVB-500 and bevacizumab reduced tumor burden in vivo and reduced morphogenesis and migration in vitro which are vital to the process of angiogenesis.
