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

backgroundRenal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a common malignant tumor of the urinary system. This study aimed to analyze the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor C (VEGF-C) in RCC and its relationship with pathological parameters and prognosis.

methodsThe clinical data of 68 patients who underwent surgical treatment and confirmed to be RCC by pathology from February 2012 to January 2014 were collected. The specimens of carcinoma tissues of the 68 patients were collected, among which 20 patients were collected from normal tissue specimens adjacent to the cancer more than 5 cm away from the tumor as controls. The VEGF-C expression level was detected by immunohistochemistry, and the relationship between VEGF-C expression and clinical pathological parameters and prognosis of RCC was analyzed.

resultsThe positive expression rate of VEGF-C in cancer tissues of RCC patients was significantly higher than the adjacent tissues (85.29%

conclusionsVEGF-C is highly expressed in cancer tissues of RCC patients, and is related to clinical stage, pathological differentiation, and lymph node metastasis, which maybe an effective factor of prognosis prediction.
