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

BACKGROUND/

aimCircadian rhythm is an internal clock that regulates the cycles of many biological functions. Epidemiological studies have linked aberrant circadian rhythm to an increased susceptibility to cancer and poor patient prognosis. However, there remains a gap in our understanding of genetic variants related to the circadian pathway in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) progression. PATIENTS AND

methodsWe examined the associations of 150 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 12 core circadian pathway genes with RCC risk and survival in 630 patients with RCC and controls.

resultsAfter adjusting for multiple comparisons and performing multivariate analyses, we found that the HLF rs6504958 polymorphism was significantly associated with RCC risk (q<0.05), whereas, no SNP association was significant for survival. Furthermore, the rs6504958 G allele was associated with reduced expression of HLF; consequently, a lower HLF expression was correlated with more advanced RCC. Moreover, a meta-analysis of six kidney cancer gene expression datasets demonstrated that an elevated HLF expression was associated with a favorable prognosis in patients with RCC (hazard ratio=0.70, 95% confidence interval=0.65-0.76, p<0.001).

conclusionThese findings implicate the potential protective role of HLF in the progression of RCC.
