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

The etiology and progression of renal carcinomas (RCC) is still poorly understood. RCC have been classified into several pathological entities. The most frequent type, clear cell carcinoma, accounts for about 80% of sporadic RCC and shows several chromosome abnormalities documented both by conventional cytogenetics, loss of eterozygosity (LOH) and replication error (RER) studies. In 10 clear cell type sporadic RCC we evaluated LOH and RER using a set of 10 microsatellite markers covering the chromosome 3p region, which has been suggested for interstitial deletions. Electrophoresis was performed by automated sequencer ABI Prism 377 and data were analyzed with Genescan and Genotyper 2.5 softwares. We revealed allelic loss in 48,7% of informative microsatellites and a single case of RER. We found the highest LOH frequency in 3p25-26 region where maps Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) oncosuppressor gene. In addition, DNA hypermethylation, an alternative mechanism of VHL gene silencing, was evaluated by methylation-specific PCR. However hypermethylation status was not detected in any of our tumor samples.
