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

Germline mutations in the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) tumor suppressor gene predispose people to renal cancer, hemangioblastomas, and pheochromocytomas in an allele-specific manner. The best documented function of the VHL gene product (pVHL) relates to its ability to polyubiquitinate, and hence target for destruction, the alpha subunits of the heterodimeric transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). pVHL mutants linked to familial pheochromocyctoma (type 2C VHL disease), in contrast to classical VHL disease, appear to be normal with respect to HIF regulation. Using a simple method for identifying proteins that are differentially secreted by isogenic cell line pairs, we confirmed that the HIF targets IGBP3 and PAI-1 are overproduced by pVHL-defective renal carcinoma cells. In addition, cells lacking wild-type pVHL, including cells producing type 2C pVHL mutants, were defective with respect to expression and secretion of clusterin, which does not behave like a HIF target. Decreased clusterin secretion by pVHL-defective tumors was confirmed in vivo by immunohistochemistry. Therefore, clusterin is a secreted marker for a HIF-independent pVHL function that might be especially important in pheochromocytoma development.
