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

objectiveTo study the expression of Neighbor of Brca1 gene (NBR1) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), renal cancer cells and the chemoresistance cells and to elucidate its clinical prognostic and chemoresistance value. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe screened the NBR1 mRNA in ccRCC from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and examined expression levels of NBR1 mRNA in 48 cases of ccRCC tissues, renal cancer cell lines and chemoresistance cells by qRT-PCR. Then, we extended two additional data sets in oncomine datebase (https://www.oncomine.org) to further confirm the results of the TCGA database. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay data performed in ccRCC tissues and normal tissues were downloaded from The Human Protein Atlas.

resultsThe mRNA levels of NBR1 were downregulated in TCGA-KIRC database (n = 533) and ccRCC patient samples (n=48) as well as in RCC cell lines and their chemoresistance cells. Similarly, the protein levels of NBR1 were lower in ccRCC patient samples. NBR1 level was associated with the clinical pathological stage and could discriminate metastasis, recurrence and prognosis in ccRCC patients. Low level of NBR1 mRNA showed a significance poor prognostic of overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) with univariate and multivariate analyses in ccRCC patients and sunitinib resistance.

conclusionsTaken together, our results suggest that low level of NBR1 can predict poor clinical outcome and resistance of sunitinib in patients with ccRCC.
