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

Conventional renal cell carcinomas (CRCCs) were investigated for the expression of annexin II (ANX II) to determine out whether this calcium-binding protein could serve as a useful prognostic marker. CRCCs and adjacent nonneoplastic tissue from 33 patients were investigated for ANX II by immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR, and western blot analysis. ANX II expression was correlated with tumor differentiation (Fuhrman grade) and to clinical outcome. Tumors were composed of ANX II positive and negative cells. In grade I tumors only a weak membranous staining was seen in immunopositive cells. In grade II and III tumors, however, ANX II was seen in the cytoplasm and at the cell membranes of tumor cells. On serial sections membranous and cytoplasmic immunoreactivity for ANX II occurred predominantly in eosinophilic cells whereas clear cells were mostly immunonegative. The ANX II expression in CRCCs was correlated with clinical outcome and Fuhrman grade. Since ANX II expression is correlated with Fuhrman grade and clinical outcome it may be a useful marker for prognosis in CRCC.
