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

backgroundThe high incidence of vascular and lymphatic metastasis is closely associated with poor prognosis and mortality in cancer. Finding effective inhibitors to prevent pathological angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis relies on appropriate in vivo models. The chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) is formed by the fusion of the chorion and allantois during embryonic development. SUMMARY: In this context, we primarily summarize the changes in vascular and lymphatic vessel formation in tumors under the action of drugs using this model, providing a preclinical model basis for effective tumor inhibitors. KEY MESSAGES: Due to natural immunological defects, chick embryos accept various tissue and species transplants without immune response. The CAM model has been widely used in studying angiogenesis, antiangiogenesis, tumor growth, tumor metastasis, and drug efficacy. This review describes the use of CAM assays as a valuable method for testing the in vivo effects of drugs on vascular and lymphatic vessel formation before further investigating the effects of drugs on tumor vessels and lymphatic vessels in animal models.
