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

purposeNOD1 and NOD2 (nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain)-receptors are intracellular receptors and belong to the family of pattern recognition receptors being present in both human and murine renal tubular cells. Besides, NOD1 has been proved to promote apoptosis, upon its overexpression. Hence, we aimed to investigate NOD1 and NOD2 expression in human clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

methodsTumor and corresponding adjacent healthy tissues from 41 patients with histopathological diagnosis of ccRCC as well as primary isolated renal tubular epithelial cells (TECs) and tumor tissue from a murine xenograft model using CAKI-1 ccRCC cells were analyzed.

resultsNOD1 and NOD2 mRNA was constitutively expressed in both tumor and adjacent healthy renal tissue, with NOD1 being significantly lower and in contrast NOD2 significantly higher expressed in tumor tissue compared to healthy tissues. Immunohistochemically, NOD1 was located not only in the cytoplasm, but also in the nucleus in ccRCC tissue whereas NOD2 was solely localized in the cytoplasm in both human ccRCC as well as in the healthy tubular system. Focusing on the vasculature, NOD2 displayed broader expression than NOD1. In primary TECs as well as CAKI-1 cells NOD1 and NOD2 was constitutively expressed and increasable upon LPS stimulation. In the mouse xenograft model, human NOD1 mRNA was significantly higher expressed compared to NOD2. In contrast hereto, we observed a shift towards lower mouse NOD1 compared to NOD2 mRNA expression.

conclusionIn view of reduced apoptosis-associated NOD1 expression in ccRCC tissue opposed to higher expression of NOD2 in tumor vasculature, inducibility of NOD expression in TECs as well as the detected shift of NOD1 and NOD2 expression in the mouse xenograft model, modulation of NOD receptors might, therefore, provide a molecular therapeutic approach in ccRCC.
