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

Cancer remains a critical global health challenge, driven by tumor angiogenesis and immune evasion. Endostatin, a collagen XVIII-derived fragment, uniquely suppresses angiogenesis and reprograms the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), positioning it as a dual-targeting therapeutic. Despite clinical advancements with recombinant human endostatin (rhEs), challenges such as transient efficacy and delivery limitations persist. Emerging strategies integrating nanotechnology, combination therapies, and immunomodulation (e.g., TAM reprogramming, immune checkpoint synergy) aim to amplify its therapeutic potential. This review synthesizes current knowledge on endostatin's mechanisms in angiogenesis inhibition and immune modulation. It further evaluates its clinical efficacy across solid tumors and explores innovative strategies to overcome translational barriers. By dissecting technological advancements, controversies, and synergistic opportunities with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy, we aim to chart a roadmap for harnessing endostatin's full potential in redefining precision cancer therapeutics.
