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

Identifying diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers is crucial for improved guidance of the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Amyloid β precursor-like protein 2 (APLP2) has been determined to serve an important role in the progression of a number of cancer types. However, the expression and significance of APLP2 in RCC remains unknown. In the present study, it was determined that the expression of APLP2 protein (n=10) and mRNA (n=8) expression was significantly decreased in clear cell RCC (CCRCC) tissues compared with that in matched normal renal tissues. The expression level of APLP2 was significantly associated with high Fuhrman grade, high pT stage, and presence of distant metastasis and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the expression of APLP2 was a significant independent predictor of disease-specific survival in renal cell carcinoma (P=0.026). Notably, APLP2 expression was significantly associated with disease-specific survival (P<0.001). APLP2 may be used to potentially predict patient prognosis, and to guide clinical diagnosis and treatment in CCRCC.
