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

We have investigated both the effects of X-rays on angiogenesis and the possible role of nitric oxide (NO) on the observed antiangiogenic effect of X-rays, using as an in vivo model the chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM). These effects were assessed both morphologically and biochemically, by measuring vascular density and collagenous protein biosynthesis, respectively, on days 9 and 14 of the chick embryo development. Vascular density and cytotoxicity of the CAM were also evaluated histologically. We have shown that X-rays have an antiangiogenic effect on the system used and that the NO synthase inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) promoted angiogenesis of the non-irradiated CAM and reversed the antiangiogenic effect of irradiation. D-NAME, which is an inactive enantiomer of L-NAME, showed no such effects. L-Arginine, which is the substrate for NO synthase, had a modest antiangiogenic effect on the non-irradiated CAM, no effect on the irradiated CAM and abolished the angiogenic effect of L-NAME on these CAM preparations. These results suggest that NO is involved in the antiangiogenic mechanism of X-rays and that pharmacological manipulation of NO firstly, may offer a better understanding of these mechanisms and, secondly, may also prove to be an alternative therapeutic approach for treating pathological conditions involving angiogenesis.
