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

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has the high mortality rate among urological malignancies. The development of RCC cannot be effectively reduced by molecular targeted therapies based on nutrient deprivation, such as inhibition of tumor angiogenesis. The objective of this study was to identify predictive biomarkers of poor prognosis and therapeutic molecular targets in patients with RCC. Two independent cohorts were analyzed in the present study. Global transcriptomics were used in the first cohort (43 patients with RCC) to identify biomarker genes. Each identified biomarker was subsequently analyzed using immunohistochemistry in the second cohort (97 patients with RCC). Following transcriptomics, biomarkers were evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Predictive accuracy for poor survivals was assessed using the log-rank test and Cox multivariate analysis. Global transcriptomic analysis in the first cohort focusing on cases with survival periods <2 years after initial diagnosis of metastasis detected seven overexpressed genes, which correlated with poor prognosis.
