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

Vasculogenic mimicry (VM) refers to the ability of malignant cells to form microvascular channels, having nature of blood vessels but are not endothelium lined. These channels contain blood cells & plasma and provide sufficient nutrient supply to the cancerous cells to meet their metabolic demands. VM can be seen in various tumors and is associated with their malignant phenotype, high tumor grade, invasion, metastasis and poor clinical outcome. In this paper, we made an attempt to explain the mechanism, visualisation and prognostic significance of vasculogenic mimicry.
