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

Aberrant expression of receptor tyrosine kinase EphA1 in malignant tissues has been reported. However, the expression profile of EphA1 in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and its association with clinicopathological parameters remain unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the cancerous value of the EphA1 protein expression in patients with renal cell carcinomas. This study included 144 patients with clear cell RCC (ccRCC), 18 patients with chromophobe RCC and 6 patients with papillary RCC. The EphA1 protein was detected in RCC tissue samples by an immunohistochemical staining with a specific polycolonal antibody. The correlation of the expression of the EphA1 protein with clinicopathological parameters was evaluated. High level of the expression of EphA1 was observed in all normal renal tubes. The EphA1 protein was negatively or weakly expressed in 93 out of 144 ccRCC (64.6%) and positively expressed in 51 out of 144 ccRCC (35.4%). The high level expression of the EphA1 protein was significantly associated with younger patients (P<0.001), sex (P=0.016) and lower nuclear grade (P<0.001). No significant relation between the expression of EphA1 and tumor diameter was found (P=0.316). Positive expression of EphA1 was observed in all samples of chromophobe RCC and papillary RCC. Our data indicated that the EphA1 protein may be a new marker for the prognosis of ccRCC.
