The Association of Androgen Receptor Expression with Renal Cell Carcinoma Risk: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

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.
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
The relationship between androgen receptor expression and renal cell carcinoma risk remains controversial. This study is aimed to investigate the clinical significance of androgen receptor expression in renal cell carcinoma. A computerized bibliographic search of Embase, the PubMed, and Web of Science combined with manual research between 1977 and 2017 was conducted to explore the association between androgen receptor expression and clinicopathological features of renal cell carcinoma. Data were analyzed by a meta-analysis using RevMan 5.3 analysis software. Eleven retrospective studies with 1839 renal cell carcinoma cases were finally included according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines. It was found that there was no significant difference between androgen receptor expression and susceptibility, pathological type, metastatic status, metastatic type (lymph or distant metastasis) and cancer-specific survival of renal cell carcinoma (P > 0.05). However, positive androgen receptor expression was demonstrated to be significantly associated with male patients, lower pathological grade, and earlier tumor stage of renal cell carcinoma (OR = 1.69, 95% CI = 1.30-2.19, P < 0.0001; OR = 2.06, 95% CI = 1.49-2.85, P < 0.0001; OR = 2.81, 95% CI = 1.30-6.12, P = 0.009; respectively). In conclusion, higher androgen receptor expression was correlated with male patients, low tumor grade and early stage of renal cell carcinoma. Based on current results, androgen receptor-inhibited target therapy for renal cell carcinoma patients may be of limited benefits and should be taken into more evaluations.
