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.
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 plays an important role in the proliferation and metastasis mechanisms of malignant tumors. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a group of cytokines that contribute to angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the serum VEGF-A concentrations in dogs with various proliferative diseases. A total of 202 dogs that were histopathologically diagnosed with proliferative diseases were included in the study. Serum VEGF-A concentrations were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Median serum VEGF-A concentrations in dogs were as follows: healthy dogs, 4 pg/ml [0-21 pg/ml]; hepatocellular carcinoma, 30 pg/ml [0-158 pg/ml, P=<0.001]; hepatocellular adenoma, 32 pg/ml [0-49 pg/ml, P=0.003]; hepatic nodular hyperplasia, 18 pg/ml [0-51 pg/ml, P=0.595]; adrenal pheochromocytoma, 32 pg/ml [0-187 pg/ml, P=<0.001]; adrenocortical carcinoma, 32 pg/ml [3-161 pg/ml, P=0.002]; adrenocortical adenoma, 27 pg/ml [0-106 pg/ml, P=0.005]; colorectal adenocarcinoma, 36 pg/ml [0-75 pg/ml, P=0.002]; colorectal adenoma, 43 pg/ml [0-48 pg/ml, P=0.144]; inflammatory colorectal polyps, 37 pg/ml [0-111 pg/ml, P=<0.001]; pulmonary adenocarcinoma, 35 pg/ml [4-107 pg/ml, P=0.002]; pulmonary histiocytic sarcoma, 35 pg/ml [0-131 pg/ml, P=0.016]; and follicular thyroid carcinoma, 35 pg/ml [0-106 pg/ml, P=0.009]. The serum VEGF-A concentrations were significantly higher in dogs with neoplastic lesions compared to healthy dogs, except for colorectal adenoma. High serum VEGF-A concentrations were observed in dogs with proliferative diseases. The present study suggests that angiogenesis-inhibiting therapy, which targets VEGF-A, may be useful for canine neoplastic diseases.
