VEGF-A controls the expression of its regulator of angiogenic functions, dopamine D2 receptor, on endothelial cells.
Article in Journal of cell science, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
We have previously demonstrated significant upregulation of dopamine D2 (DAD2) receptor (DRD2) expression on tumor endothelial cells. The dopamine D2 receptors, upon activation, inhibit the proangiogenic actions of vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A, also known as vascular permeability factor). Interestingly, unlike tumor endothelial cells, normal endothelial cells exhibit very low to no expression of dopamine D2 receptors. Here, for the first time, we demonstrate that through paracrine signaling, VEGF-A can control the expression of dopamine D2 receptors on endothelial cells via Krüppel-like factor 11 (KLF11)-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 pathway. These results thus reveal a novel bidirectional communication between VEGF-A and DAD2 receptors.
