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

purposeIn spite of early detection of conventional renal cell carcinoma (RCC) by widespread use of abdominal imaging, approximately 10-15 % of patients will die due to disease. The aim of this study was to identify new biomarkers predicting the postoperative progression of conventional RCC.

methodsTissue multiarrays (TMA) of conventional RCC from a cohort of 486 patients were analysed by immunohistochemistry for expression of the transmembrane protein TMEM27, which was identified as a candidate biomarker by Affymetrix U133 Plus 2.0 array. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were addressed to assess cancer-specific survival in association with clinicopathological variables and TMEM27 expression. Cancer-specific survival time was estimated with Kaplan-Meier analysis, and the comparison of survival curves was made with the log-rank test.

resultsThe Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated a poor disease-specific survival rates for tumours without TMEM27 staining. Univariate analysis revealed an association of patient survival with T stadium, grade, stage and size of tumour and TMEM27 expression in all cases as well as in the cohort of patients with postoperative tumour progression. In multivariate analysis, only T stadium and TMEM27 staining showed a significant association with postoperative cancer-specific death (p < 0.001).

conclusionsLack of expression of the TMEM27 in conventional RCC defines a group of patients at high risk for cancer-related death.
