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

Patients of the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease frequently develop clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Using archived, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples, we sought to determine global proteome alterations that distinguish ccRCC tissue from adjacent, non-malignant kidney tissue in VHL-patients. Our quantitative proteomic analysis clearly discriminated tumor and non-malignant tissue. Significantly dysregulated proteins were distinguished using the linear models for microarray data algorithm. In the ccRCC tissue, we noticed a predominant under-representation of proteins involved in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and an increase in proteins involved in glycolysis. This profile possibly represents a proteomic fingerprint of the "Warburg effect", which is a molecular hallmark of ccRCC. Furthermore, we observed an increase in proteins involved in extracellular matrix organization. We also noticed differential expression of many exoproteases in the ccRCC tissue. Of particular note were opposing alterations of Xaa-Pro Aminopeptidases-1 and -2 (XPNPEP-1 and -2): a strong decrease of XPNPEP-2 in ccRCC was accompanied by abundant presence of the related protease XPNPEP-1. In both cases, we corroborated the proteomic results by immunohistochemical analysis of ccRCC and adjacent, non-malignant kidney tissue of VHL patients. To functionally investigate the role of XPNPEP-1 in ccRCC, we performed small-hairpin RNA mediated XPNPEP-1 expression silencing in 786-O ccRCC cells harboring a mutated
