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

introductionClear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the sixth most common malignancy in men in North America. Since ccRCC is a malignancy dependent on neovascularization, current first line systemic therapies like sunitinib, target the formation of new vessels allowing nutrient deprivation and cell death. However, recent studies have shown that patients develop resistance after approximately 1 year of treatment and show disease progression while on therapy. Therefore, we propose to identify the protein(s) responsible for increased migration with the aim of developing a new therapy that will target the identified protein and potentially slow down the progression of the disease. MATERIAL AND

methodsHuman renal cancer cell lines (Caki-1, Caki-2, ACHN) were treated with increasing doses of sunitinib to develop a sunitinib-conditioned renal cell carcinoma cell line. mRNA microarray and qPCR were performed to compare the differences in gene expression between Caki-1 sunitinib-conditioned and non-conditioned cells. NTN1 was assessed in our

resultsHuman renal cell carcinoma sunitinib-conditioned cell lines showed upregulation of netrin-1 in microarray and q-PCR. Increased migration was demonstrated in Caki-1 sunitinib-conditioned cells when compared to the non-treated ones as well as, increased endothelial cell migration. Silencing of netrin-1 in sunitinib-conditioned Caki-1 cells did not demonstrate a significant reduction in cell migration.

conclusionNetrin-1 is highly upregulated in renal cell carcinoma treated with sunitinib, but has no influence on cell viability or cell migration in metastatic RCC.
