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

purposeTo determine the differential expression patterns and prognostic relevance of Mucin-1 (MUC1) expression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) metastasis.

methodsTissue microarrays (TMA) from samples of 151 RCC metastases, 61 primary RCCs and corresponding benign renal tissues were immunohistochemically stained for MUC1 and semi-quantitatively evaluated by immunoreactivity scores (IRS). MUC1 differential expression in metastasis, primary RCC and normal tissue were comparatively analyzed. Patient characteristics and clinical follow-up for patients with metastatic RCC (mRCC) were recorded. Correlations of MUC1 expression with mRCC survival were determined.

resultsMedian cytoplasmic expression was highest in benign tissue (IRS = 1.04). Primary RCC (0.50) and metastasis (0.12) showed significantly lower cytoplasmic staining intensity. Membranous expression in benign tissue was, however, significantly lower (0.21) compared with primary RCC (0.59) and metastasis (0.57). Notable differences of MUC1 cytoplasmic and membranous expression were observed between different metastasis sites. Significantly higher (P = 0.014) membranous expression was observed in pulmonary versus non-pulmonary lesions, while no significant differences of cytoplasmic MUC1 expression were observed. The prognostic relevance of MUC1 expression in metastatic RCC was limited.

conclusionsMUC1 is differentially expressed in benign renal tissue, primary RCC and RCC metastasis. Membranous MUC1 expression was significantly elevated in pulmonary metastases compared to non-pulmonary lesions, which may reflect individual biology and putative response to MUC1-based anti-cancer therapy.
