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

purposeTo explore the expression of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) and their role in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC) development and progression.

methodsExpression of RAGE and HMGB1 was examined in RCC using tissue microarrays. In vitro, quiescent or RAGE-reduced RCC cells were subjected to treatment with HMGB1 and harvested for detecting ERK1/2 phosphorylation via Western blot. Further cell proliferation, migration and invasion were evaluated by Ki-67 immunostaining, wound healing and matrigel invasion assay, respectively.

results①Elevated co-expression of RAGE and HMGB1 in CCRCC was correlated positively with patients' clinical parameters including tumor size, nuclear Fuhrman grade and clinical stage. ②HMGB1 incubation induced ERK1/2 activation in a time- and dose-dependent manner, which could be completely blocked by U0126 (MEK1/2 inhibitor) and partially reversed by RAGE knockdown. ③RAGE knockdown partially reversed the promoted effect of cell proliferation, migration and invasion induced by HMGB1.

conclusionHMGB1 promotes the development and progression of CCRCC via ERK1/2 activation, which is partially mediated by RAGE.
