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

backgroundChanges in expression patterns of the sialyl Lewis antigens and MUC1 mucin can be considered as markers for the diagnosis of various cancers. However, there are no reports which have been devoted to analysis of differences in the sialyl Lewis antigens and MUC1 expression patterns as potential discrimination markers among different areas of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The aim of this study was to determine the level of MUC1 and specific Lewis antigens on glycoproteins in three different areas: tumor (cancer tissue), intermediate zone (adjacent to tumor tissue) and normal renal cortex/medulla (uninvolved by tumor).

methodsStudy was performed on renal tissues taken from 30 patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Relative amounts of sugar structures bound with proteins were determined by ELISA-like test with biotinylated lectins or monoclonal antibodies: anti-MUC1 and anti-sialyl Lewis(a/x). The study presented here provides novel information about relationship between MUC1 and sialyl Lewis antigens in the tumor, intermediate zone and noninvolved areas of normal renal tissue distant of tumor.

resultsWe have found statistically significant increase of MUC1 and sialic acid linked by α-2,3 bond with galactose in cancer tissue and in intermediate zone comparing to normal renal tissue distant of tumor. Moreover, we observed statistically significant increase of sialic acid linked by α-2,6 bond with Gal/GalNAc and sialyl Lewis(a/x) antigens in cancer tissues only, comparing to normal ones.

conclusionsMUC1 and sialylated antigens can be involved in renal tumor development and can be considered as potential markers distinguishing normal renal tissue from intermediate zone and from cancer renal cells during ccRCC development.
