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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesAngiogenesis is essential for tumor growth, tissue repair, and cell development. MATERIALS/

methodsRLE was prepared, chemically profiled by high-performance liquid chromatography, and used in both

resultsRLE inhibited VEGF-induced proliferation, tube formation, migration, and invasion in HUVECs. RLE treatment also reduced the phosphorylation of VEGFR-2 and downstream signaling molecules, including AKT, ERK, and eNOS. Molecular docking supported the potential interaction between major RLE compounds and VEGFR-2. Additionally, RLE inhibited MMP-2-mediated extracellular matrix remodeling and attenuated VEGF-stimulated microvessel sprouting in the aortic ring assay.

conclusionRLE exerts potent anti-angiogenic effects by modulating the VEGF/VEGFR-2 signaling cascade and inhibiting MMP-2 activity. As a previously underutilized botanical resource, RLE may serve as a promising complementary therapeutic agent for diseases related to angiogenesis.
