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 cell carcinoma (RCC) is common genitourinary malignancy in human, 30-40% of patients with RCC would be diagnosed with metastatic RCC (mRCC). Even in the era of targeted therapy, patients with mRCC would inevitably progress due to drug resistance. Herein, exploration of the mechanisms of resistance is noteworthy to study. In the present study, we firstly reported the expression profile of SOX9 in renal carcinoma cells and tissues, and found that its expression was significantly associated with Fuhrman grading. Dual luciferase analysis confirmed that Raf/MEK/ERK pathway could directly be regulated by SOX9, and sequential experiments demonstrated that, renal carcinoma cells could sensitize to Sorafenib/Sunitinib through Raf/MEK/ERK signaling pathway inhibition regulated by SOX9 down-regulation. In a small cases with mRCC treated with Sorafenib/Sunitinib (n=38), comparative analysis showed that patients with SOX9 (-) had much better therapeutic response to TKIs than those with SOX9 (+) (PD: 9.1% vs. 56.2%, P=0.002, DCR: 90.9% vs. 43.8%, P=0.002). Based on these findings, we concluded that, SOX9 was firstly described to be highly expressed in renal cell carcinoma, and its expression was involved in TKIs drug resistance through activation of Raf/MEK/ERK pathway. In vitro, patients with SOX9 (-) was related to better response to TKIs treatment than those with SOX9 (+). SOX9 could be expected to be a promising biomarker predicting TKIs response and even expected to be another novel target in the treatment of mRCC.
