Immunosuppressive effects of vascular endothelial growth factor.
Review in Oncology letters, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 59 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) serves a critical role in vasculogenesis, angiogenesis, tumor, inflammatory angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis. Since 2004, bevacizumab (Avastin), a humanized anti-VEGFA monoclonal antibody, has been approved for the treatment of non-small cell lung, breast, kidney and ovarian cancer in combination with standard chemotherapy. VEGF has been demonstrated to be important in the clinic as a therapeutic target in the anti-angiogenic approach to cancer therapy. The targeting of VEGF, together with immunotherapy, has been reported to be able to reverse the immunosuppressive effects of VEGF. A positive correlation between VEGF expression and the reduced survival rates of patients with cancer has also been demonstrated. Furthermore, increased VEGF expression can lead to immune suppression via the inhibition of dendritic cell maturation, the reduction of T-cell tumor infiltration and the promotion of inhibitory cell types in the tumor microenvironment.
