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

B lymphoma Mo-MLV insertion region 1 homolog (Bmi-1) is a transcriptional repressor, which plays important roles in the development of cancers, but the function of Bmi-1 in kidney tumorigenesis and its prognostic values remain unclear. This study aims to investigate prognostic values of the intratumoral and peritumoral expression of Bmi-1 in patients with renal cell carcinoma. Expression of Bmi-1 was assessed by immunohistochemistry in specimens containing paired tumor and peritumoral renal tissue from 241 patients who had undergone curative nephrectomy at Zhongshan Hospital from 2005 to 2007. The association of Bmi-1 expression with clinical and pathological parameters and outcomes was investigated. Specific expression of Bmi-1 was found both in peritumoral and intratumoral tissues. High expression of Bmi-1 in peritumoral but not intratumoral is significantly associated with poor overall survival (OS) (P < 0.001) and relapse-free survival (RFS) (P = 0.003). Furthermore, Bmi-1 expression was identified as an independent prognostic factor for OS, and combination of peritumoral Bmi-1 and tumor node metastasis (TNM) stage had a better power to predict the patients' death and disease recurrence. High peritumoral Bmi-1 expression can serve as an independent prognostic biomarker and could be a novel therapeutic target for renal cell carcinoma (RCC).
