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

δ-Catenin is a unique member of the catenin family and is proved to be overexpressed in diverse human cancer types. However, the clinical significance and underling mechanism of δ-catenin expression in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remain elusive. Herein, we detected the protein expression of δ-catenin in 28 clinical specimens of paired renal cancer tissues and normal renal tissues by Western blot analysis. δ-Catenin expression in 58 cases of renal cell carcinoma was also examined by immunohistochemistry, and its association with clinicopathological factors was analyzed by statistical analysis. In vitro and in vivo assays were employed to further explore the biological role of δ-catenin in RCC. The results showed that δ-catenin was highly expressed in both clinical samples and cell lines of RCC. RCC patients with higher δ-catenin expression had a more advanced pTNM stage and tumor stage as well as lymph nodes metastasis than those with lower expression. By regulating the nuclear translocation of β-catenin and β-catenin-mediated oncogenic signals, δ-catenin promoted proliferation and inhibited apoptosis in RCC. In vivo assay indicated δ-catenin facilitated tumor growth in ACHN cell xenograft mouse model. Taken together, our study suggests that δ-catenin might be considered as a novel prognostic indicator and actionable target for gene therapy in renal cell carcinoma.
