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

Renal cancer is a relatively common malignant carcinoma that metastasizes to bone. The chemokine stromal derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and its corresponding receptor CXCR4 have been shown to regulate organ-specific metastasis in other cancer types. Based on this observation, we predicted that the expressions of SDF-1 and CXCR4 play a role in renal carcinoma metastasis to bone. To investigate the expressions of SDF-1 and CXCR4, and to assess the correlation between SDF-1 and CXCR4 immunoreactivity in bone metastasis of renal carcinoma, we collected 10 in situ renal carcinoma samples and 30 bone metastasis samples. We analyzed SDF-1 and CXCR4 expression with immunohistochemical analysis on paraffin-embedded sections. Compared with primary renal carcinomas, the SDF-1 expression in bone metastases was significantly higher [80% (24/30) vs. 30% (3/10), P = 0.006]; the expression of CXCR4 was also higher [83.3% (25/30) vs. 40% (4/10), P = 0.014]. Pearson correlation analysis supports a positive correlation between SDF-1 and CXCR4 in bone metastasis of renal carcinoma. In addition, RT-PCR demonstrated that, as compared with in situ renal carcinoma tissues, SDF-1 expression was predominant in the bone metastasis samples (P = 0.001), while CXCR4 was overexpressed in the bone metastasis tissues (P = 0.028). Western blot analysis confirmed these trends. Our data suggest that the expression of SDF-1/CXCR4 is high in bone metastases and over-expression of SDF-1/CXCR4 may play important roles in the bone metastasis of renal carcinoma.
