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

Comprehensive molecular analyses revealed that papillary renal cell carcinoma (PRCC) is a heterogenous entity. Papillary renal neoplasm with reverse polarity (PRNRP) is a subset of PRCC with characteristic histomorphologies such as low-grade nuclear features, inverted nuclear location, eosinophilic cytoplasm, and indolent clinical behavior. We tried to define the molecular, clinicopathological, histologic, and immunohistochemical features of PRNRP by comparing them with type 1 PRCC (PRCC1) and type 2 PRCC (PRCC2). A cohort of 30 PRNRP, 23 PRCC1, and 26 PRCC2 cases was used. Targeted sequencing of 90 cancer-related genes including KRAS was performed in 26 PRNRP tumor samples. PNA-mediated clamping PCR of KRAS was performed using paired normal and tumor DNA from 30 PRNRP, 23 PRCC1, and 26 PRCC2 cases. Tissue microarray slides were made in three cores per tumor, which were stained with cytokeratin 7 (CK7), alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR), epithelial membrane antigen (EMA), E-cadherin, vimentin, and CD10. Recurrent mutations in KRAS were detected in 28 of the 30 PRNRPs. However, there were no KRAS mutations in any PRCC1 or PRCC2 cases. PRNRP exhibited distinct clinicopathological features: small tumor size, lower pathologic T stage, and no disease-specific death during the follow-up period. Histologically, peritumoral lymphoid aggregation, prominent papillary architecture (>80% of tumor), hyalinized papillae, inverted nuclear location, and lower nuclear grade were observed. PRNRP was usually positive for CK7, AMACR, EMA, and E-cadherin, and negative for CD10. The findings suggest that PRNRP is a subtype of papillary renal neoplasm that is different from PRCC1 or PRCC2 in terms of molecular, clinicopathological, histological, and immunohistochemical features.
