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

objectiveThis study aimed to investigate expression level of FOXC2 and its relationship to clinical pathological features of renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

methodsThe expression levels of FOXC2 in RCC tissues and normal renal tissues (62 samples, respectively) were detected by immunohistochemistry and PCR Array. Statistics analyses were done with SPSS to compare the differences between RCC tissues and normal renal tissue, and to explore the relationship between the expression level of FOXC2 and the clinical pathological features of RCC.

resultsExpression level of FOXC2 in RCC tissues was significantly higher than in normal renal tissues, and other related cancer genes also highly expressed in RCC tissues. FOXC2 expression was positively associated with clinical stage and pathological grade (P < 0.05), but not significantly related to the gender and age (P > 0.05).

conclusionThe expression of FOXC2 in renal cell carcinoma was significantly higher than that in normal renal tissues. It is suggested that FOXC2 might play a crucial role in the occurrence and development of RCC and could be an important prognostic indicator for clinical therapy.
