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

Dysregulated angiogenesis is involved in cancer and numerous ischemic, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, prompting extensive research that has yielded a growing array of angiogenesis-modulating molecules used in clinical practice. The dietary phytocomplex of Cruciferous vegetables exhibits multiple biological activities in both in vitro and in vivo models. However, the impact of a myrosinase-activated broccoli extract (MaBE) on angiogenesis, as well as on stromal-endothelial interactions governing endothelial cell behavior, has not yet been explored. We investigated the effects of MaBE on endothelial-stromal crosstalk using endothelial cells (HUVECs) and fibroblasts (HFF1) both individually and in a fibroblast-conditioned medium model. MaBE dose-dependently inhibited endothelial viability, migration and tube formation, key steps of angiogenesis, through interference with the VEGF-VEGFR2 axis. Notably, MaBE also markedly suppressed HFF1-driven HUVEC migration and capillary-like structure formation, likely through the inhibition of fibroblast motility and the downregulation of VEGF and angiogenin signaling in HFF1 cells. Overall, these findings provide new insight into MaBE regulation of pro-angiogenic behaviors in both endothelial cells and fibroblasts while disrupting their functional interplay. By targeting multiple cellular compartments and key mediators involved in angiogenesis, MaBE emerges as a promising bioactive extract with potential relevance for the management of pathological angiogenesis-related disorders.
