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

purpose of reviewTo summarize the mechanisms of tumor angiogenesis and resistance to antiangiogenic therapy, and the influence on tumor microenvironment. RECENT

findingsSeveral clinical trials have investigated the activity of anti-VEGF monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors in glioblastoma, shedding the light on their limitations in terms of disease control and survival. We have outlined the mechanisms of resistance to antiangiogenic therapy, including vessel co-option, hypoxic signaling in response to vessel destruction, modulation of glioma stem cells, and trafficking of tumor-associated macrophages in tumor microenvironment. Moreover, novel generation of antiangiogenic compounds for glioblastoma, including small interfering RNAs and nanoparticles, as a delivery vehicle, could enhance selectivity and reduce side effects of treatments. There is still a rationale for the use of antiangiogenic therapy, but a better understanding of vascular co-option, vascular mimicry, and dynamic relationships between immunosuppressive microenvironment and blood vessel destruction is crucial to develop next-generation antiangiogenic compounds.
