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

Carbonic anhydrase IX (CA IX) is regarded as one of the most prominent markers of tumor hypoxia with potential to serve as a diagnostic biomarker, prognostic indicator as well as tumor therapeutic target. The aim of the present study was to perform an in-depth analysis of CA IX expression in blood and tissue samples and to evaluate the significance of CA IX status for different renal cell carcinomas (RCCs). The expression of CA IX was determined in blood and tissue samples from 74 kidney cancer patients using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Western blotting (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). The CA IX status was correlated with RCC type and tumor stage. IHC and WB provided evidence for a significantly higher expression of CA IX in clear cell RCC (CCRCC) specimens compared to other RCCs. RT-PCR assay revealed that 32.42% of all RCC patients possess CA9-positive cells in peripheral blood and three-quarters of CA9-positive patients were diagnosed with CCRCC. When the patients were subdivided according to tumor stage, decreased positivity was observed with higher tumor stage (50% in T1 vs. 17% in T3). Serum CA IX levels determined by ELISA were significantly higher in CCRCC patients than in non-CCRCC. A significant association between s-CA IX and CCRCC tumor stage was also determined (T1-87.51 vs. T3-341.98 pg/ml, p=0.046). We demonstrated that the CA IX expression profiles in blood and tissue samples from 74 kidney cancer patients are closely correlated with their histological subtypes. This is the first study reporting CA IX expression in blood and tissue samples from kidney cancer patients determined by four different methods.
