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

BACKGROUND Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is usually incurable once it progresses to metastatic stage. Hence, in-depth investigations to reveal the precise molecular mechanisms behind the metastasis of ccRCC are required to improve the therapeutic outcome of ccRCC. MATERIAL AND METHODS The level of astrocyte elevated gene 1 (AEG-1) in ccRCC tissues and cell lines was determined by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) assay. The MTS, colony formation, wound-healing, and Transwell invasion assays were used to assess the role of AEG-1 in ccRCC cells growth, migration, and invasion in vitro, respectively. Xenograft model and lung metastasis models were constructed to analyze the functions of AEG-1 in ccRCC cells growth and metastasis in vivo. RESULTS We found that AEG-1 was overexpressed in ccRCC and was associated with the progression of ccRCC. Knocked-down AEG-1 impaired the migration and invasion of ccRCC cells in vitro. Furthermore, under-expression of AEG-1 caused complete inhibition of ccRCC cells growth and metastasis in vivo. In contrast, overexpression of AEG-1 significantly increased the migration and invasion ability of ccRCC cells in vitro. Finally, we revealed that AEG-1 boosted the metastatic ability of ccRCC cells via regulating Notch homolog 1 (Notch1). CONCLUSIONS The AEG-1/Notch1 signaling axis plays a vital role in ccRCC cell growth and metastasis.
