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

In this review, some of the current literature on the regulation of proteolysis and angiogenesis during tumor invasion is discussed. Due to the critical location of brain tumors, an understanding of tumor cell interactions with the local environment is particularly relevant. Tissue breakdown during tumor invasion is associated with proteolytic activity, mediated by tumor cells, and surrounding host cells. This review covers two classes of proteinases and inhibitors that have commonly been associated with tumor invasion i.e., plasminogen activator (PA)/plasmin and matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) with special emphasis on the MMP inhibitors, TIMP-1 and TIMP-2. At different steps of the metastatic process, tumor cells interact with endothelial cells. Tumor cells also stimulate the formation of new vessels through the expression of specific angiogenic molecules. At least eight angiogenic molecules have been purified, sequenced and cloned, four of which are discussed here. Regulation of angiogenic activity has been the focus of intense studies recently, and a wide range of synthetic and natural angiogenesis inhibitors have been discovered. Targeting of angiogenic molecules and tumor vasculature may prove useful in future cancer therapeutic strategies.
