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
Objective: To observe the effect of peritumoral electroacupuncture on the induction of vascular normalization in a mouse breast cancer model. Methods: A subcutaneous graft model of breast cancer was established with 4T1 breast cancer cell line in female BALB/c mice aged 6-8 weeks. The mice were randomly assigned to three groups, a tumor-bearing group (TG), peritumoral electroacupuncture tumor-bearing group (EATG), and bevacizumab tumor-bearing group (BTG), with 18 mice in each group. The TG mice did not receive any intervention, the EATG mice received peritumoral electroacupuncture for 30 minutes, and the BTG mice were intraperitoneally injected with bevacizumab at 10mg/kg. Immunofluorescence was performed to assess the expression of CD31/alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) in the tumor tissue at various points of time, including before intervention and 3 days and 5 days after intervention. Then, 3 days after intervention, observation of morphological changes of the microvessels in the tumor tissue was performed through Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining and scanning electron microscope. Results: There was no significant difference in the expression of CD31, α-SMA, and HIF-1α in the tumor tissues of all groups before experimental intervention ( Conclusion: Peritumoral electroacupuncture may induce microvasculature normalization by decreasing microvascular density and increasing pericyte coverage of the neovasculature, thereby improving hypoxic microenvironment of breast cancer in mice.
