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

Autotaxin (ATX) as an important tumor cell motility-stimulating factor is upregulated in many different types of cancer. ATX, a member of the ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase and phosphodiesterase family of enzymes, possesses lysophospholipase D activity which hydrolyzes lysophosphatidylcholine to generate the potent tumor growth factor and mitogen lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). LPA acts on specific G-protein-coupled receptors, thereby regulating cell growth, migration, and survival. This study aimed to investigate the differences in gene expression pattern of ATX between cancerous and adjacent normal tissue of human renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and bladder carcinoma (BC) and find the correlation between ATX expression and clinicopathological features of both of these carcinomas. Both the RCC and BC tissues and with the adjacent normal tissues were collected. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting analysis were used to detect the extent of ATX expression in all of these samples. Immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis revealed that expression of ATX protein in carcinoma tissues is significantly higher than that in the adjacent normal tissues. Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that ATX is localized in cytoplasm. Western blotting analysis showed that ATX protein is expressed in both RCC and BC, and the expression levels were 69.5 and 48.0 %, respectively, higher in RCC and BC carcinoma tissue samples than in the adjacent normal tissues, which is consistent with the results of immunohistochemistry study. Thus, this study provided the evidence that ATX is highly expressed in both RCC and BC. Further research can be done to identify the diagnosis and treatment significance of both these carcinomas.
