RNAscope for VEGF-A Detection in Human Tumor Bioptic Specimens.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Different pro-angiogenic factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), have been related to microvascular density, clinicopathologic factors, and poor prognosis in many tumors. VEGF-A binds its receptor 2 (VEGFR2) to induce neo-angiogenesis, a constant hallmark of tumor initiation and progression. Based on VEGF-A/VEGFR2 relevance in tumor angiogenesis, several inhibitors were developed. However, the clinical benefits of anti-angiogenic therapies are limited because tumors activate different mechanisms of drug resistance.The need for understanding tumor biology, limitation or failure of anti-angiogenic therapies, and the demand for a personalized therapeutic approach has boosted the search for robust biomarkers for patient stratification as responder or non-responder to anti-VEGF therapies.This chapter presents a detailed protocol to perform chromogenic VEGF-A mRNA detection and quantification in human tumor bioptic specimens using RNAscope technology and RNA-in situ hybridization (ISH) algorithm. RNAscope for VEGF-A detection, even for small amounts, is compatible with precious clinical samples and diagnostic laboratory workflows.
