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

Perirenal adipose tissue (PAT) has been implicated in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The expression of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is higher in PAT compared with that in back subcutaneous adipose tissue (bSAT). The aim of the present study was to determine UCP1 expression in different parts of PAT and to analyze the correlation between UCP1 expression in PAT and RCC. PAT from the upper and lower renal poles and bSAT samples were collected from 50 patients with RCC (RCC group) and 54 patients with renal cysts (control group) who had undergone renal surgery. Both UCP1 mRNA and protein levels were found to be significantly higher and adipocytes appeared to be smaller in the PAT of the RCC group. Furthermore, the RCC group had more multilocular UCP1‑positive adipocytes. UCP1 staining in the PAT was significantly stronger in the RCC group, but there was no significant difference in UCP1 staining in the bSAT between the two groups. Furthermore, Fuhrman grade and T stage were higher in the high UCP1 expression group of RCC patients. In conclusion, high UCP1 expression in the PAT may serve as an indicator of poor prognosis in RCC.
