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

As expanded understanding of molecular tumor characteristics, which drive renal cancer growth and progression gives a promising future for renal carcinoma therapy. The objective of the present study was designed to examine the effect of β-sitosterol on a rat model of experimental renal carcinogenesis. Renal carcinogenesis was induced in rats treated with N-diethylnitrosamine (DEN; 200 mg/kg bw single i.p., injection) and ferric nitrilotriacetate (Fe-NTA; 9 mg Fe/kg bw i.p., twice a week for 16 weeks). β-sitosterol pretreatment (20 mg/kg bw in 0.1 % carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) p.o., thrice a week for 24 weeks) was started 2 weeks before the exposure to carcinogens. Expression of angiogenesis marker (VEGF), proliferative markers (cyclin D1, PCNA) and apoptotic markers (Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3 and caspase-9) were analyzed to assess the anti-cancer potential of β-sitosterol in renal carcinogenesis model. mRNA and protein expression changes were determined by qRT-PCR, Western blotting, ELISA technique and immunohistochemistry. Our results showed that oral administration of β-sitosterol pretreatment significantly (
