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

Nibrin (NBS1) is a protein involved in the maintenance of genomic stability and in DNA repair mechanisms. The NBS1 E185Q polymorphism (rs1805794) has been investigated in several studies, including its influence in the pathogenesis of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), although its prognostic value is still not determined for these patients. The purpose of the present work was to determine the role of NBS1 E185Q polymorphism as a prognostic factor/genetic marker of survival in patients with RCC. We conducted a hospital-based study analyzing 172 caucasian patients with histopathological diagnosis of RCC, for which polymorphism genotyping was performed by TaqMan(®) Allelic Discrimination methodology. In this study, we have found that male patients, non-metastatic at diagnosis and NBS1 C allele carriers (GC/CC) showed a lower 5-years survival when compared with GG genotype patients (P = 0.045). Furthermore, for carriers of low-activity NBS1 C allele, multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed almost a fourfold increase in risk of death at 5 years, after adjustment for age, histological type, Fuhrman's grade, tumor size and vascular permeation (HR 3.92; 95 % CI 1.33-11.57; P = 0.013). There were no statistically significant differences between the NBS1 E185Q genotypes and the assessed patients' clinical-pathological characteristics. Our results demonstrate for the first time the impact of NBS1 E185Q polymorphism in RCC prognosis suggesting that, for RCC male patients non-metastatic at diagnosis, this polymorphism might be a putative genetic marker in the clinical outcome.
