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 examined the expression levels of a number of metastasis-related genes to determine the relationship of these levels to the development of metastasis in renal cell carcinoma. Gene expression was examined in 46 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded, archival specimens of primary organ-confined, clear-cell, renal cell carcinoma from patients who had undergone radical nephrectomy. Twenty samples were from patients who did not have metastasis after a median of 48 months; 26 were from patients with either synchronous or metachronous metastases. Microvessel density was assessed by anti-CD-34 immunohistochemical analysis. The expression levels of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), interleukin-8 (IL-8), matrix metalloproteinases (MMP)-2 and -9, and E-cadherin were examined at the periphery of the tumor by a colorimetric in situ mRNA. The expression levels of bFGF, VEGF, IL-8, MMP-2, and MMP-9 were significantly higher in primary renal tumors from patients with either synchronous or metachronous metastases than those who were disease-free at a median of 48 months of follow-up. Multivariate analysis of disease-free survival showed that the ratio of MMP-9 to E-cadherin (P = 0.012) and the expression level of bFGF expression (P = 0.045), were independent predictors for the development of metastases. The expression levels of bFGF, VEGF, and IL-8 did not correlate with microvessel density, which in itself was not a significant predictor of progression (P = 0.21). In summary, expression levels of genes that regulate metastasis angiogenesis can predict the metastatic potential in individual patients with organ-confined clear-cell renal carcinoma.
