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

Esophageal cancer (EC) is a global health challenge with limited treatment and low efficacy. The role of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2) in EC has attracted significant attention. In this study, we found that anlotinib, an oral VEGFR2 inhibitor, exhibited a strong inhibitory effect on EC in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, VEGFR2 expression was positively correlated with infiltration levels of macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs) via comprehensive analysis and molecular experiment. Together, we evaluated the correlations between VEGFR2 expression and immune infiltration and explored the role of anlotinib on EC, providing a potential strategy for the intervention of EC.
