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

CD93 is a highly glycosylated transmembrane glycoprotein with key functional domains, including a C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD) and epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains. Primarily expressed in endothelial cells (ECs), CD93 regulates critical physiological processes such as angiogenesis, cell adhesion, migration, and apoptotic cell clearance through interactions with ligands like multimerin-2 (MMRN2) and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 7 (IGFBP7). Aberrant CD93 expression has been observed in various pathological conditions, including inflammation, cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune disorders, and cancer. Notably, CD93 is overexpressed in tumor-associated blood vessels, which is associated with poor prognosis and advanced disease stages. Targeting the CD93 signaling pathway has the potential to improve tumor vascular function and enhance the efficacy of immunotherapy, making it a promising therapeutic target. This review summarizes the current understanding of CD93's structure, function, and disease mechanisms, providing a framework for further research and clinical translation in related fields.
