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

Angiogenesis, the process of new blood vessel formation, is a fundamental physiological process implicated in several pathological disorders. The vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) and their receptors (VEGFRs) are crucial for angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. Among them, the tyrosine kinase receptor VEGFR-2 is primarily expressed in endothelial cells (ECs). These cells regulate various physiological responses, including differentiation, cell proliferation, migration, and survival, by binding to VEGF mitogens. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) is a key regulator of this process, making it a prime target for therapeutic intervention. Several drugs targeting VEGFR-2 have been approved and are currently utilized to halt the pathological axis of VEGF-VEGFR. This review will focus on the recent developments in the molecular structure and function of VEGFR-2, the molecular mechanism of VEGFR-2 activation, and its downstream signaling pathway. It will also discuss therapies and experimental drugs approved to inhibit the function of VEGFR-2 and the resistance mechanism.
