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

backgroundMucin13 (MUC13) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is aberrantly expressed in ovarian and gastro-intestinal tumors, but its role in renal cell carcinoma remains elusive. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value of MUC13 expression in patients with non-metastatic clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) after surgical resection.

resultsMUC13 high expression was associated with high Fuhrman grade (p < 0.001), high SSIGN score (p = 0.011), early recurrence (p < 0.001) and poor survival (p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified MUC13 expression as an independent prognostic factor for RFS and OS of ccRCC patients. A nomogram integrating MUC13 expression and other independent prognosticators was established to predict RFS and OS of ccRCC patients. Optimal agreement was shown between the predictions and observations in calibration curves. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis study enrolled 410 postoperative non-metastatic ccRCC patients at a single institution. Clinicopathologic variables, recurrence-free survival (RFS), and overall survival (OS) were recorded. MUC13 expression was detected by immunohistochemical staining in tumor specimens. Association of MUC13 expression with clinicopathological factors was explored. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to compare survival curves. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used to analyze the impact of prognostic factors on RFS and OS. A prognostic nomogram was constructed based on the independent prognostic factors identified by multivariate analysis.

conclusionsMUC13 high expression is a novel independent adverse prognostic factor of clinical outcome in non-metastatic ccRCC patients after surgery.
