Extracellular nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (eNAMPT) drives abnormal pericyte-rich vasculature in triple-negative breast cancer.
Article in Angiogenesis, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Tumour angiogenesis supports malignant cells with oxygen and nutrients to promote invasion and metastasis. A number of cytokines released in situ participate in the recruitment of endothelial cells and pericytes to trigger the formation of novel blood vessels, which are often abnormal, leaky, and disorganized. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase is a key intracellular enzyme involved in NAD metabolism and is up regulated in many cancers to meet bioenergetic demands. Yet, the same protein is also secreted extracellularly (eNAMPT), where it acts as a pro-inflammatory cytokine. High plasma eNAMPT levels have been reported in breast cancer patients and correlate with aggressiveness and prognosis. We now report that in a triple-negative breast cancer model, enriching the tumour microenvironment with eNAMPT leads to abundant angiogenesis and increased metastatization. Atypically, the eNAMPT-mediated pro-angiogenic effect is mainly directed to NG2
