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/

aimProgrammed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) and programmed death protein 1 (PD-1) expression levels in many tumors and their correlation with prognosis have been actively studied. However, studies on PD-1 expression and its prognostic value in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) are limited and controversial. In this study, we describe the expression of PD-1 and its prognostic significance and association with clinical features in patients with ccRCC. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe obtained clinicopathological data from 166 patients with ccRCC who were treated at Gyeongsang National University Hospital, Jinju, Korea between January 2000 and December 2009. Tissue microarray blocks were made using representative paraffin blocks of ccRCC specimens. Two pathologists analyzed PD-L1 and PD-1 expression in both tumor and inflammatory cells.

resultsPD-1 expression in tumor-infiltrating inflammatory cells was significantly correlated with unfavorable disease-free survival (DFS) (p<0.001) and disease-specific survival (DSS) (p=0.002) in the univariate analysis. A statistically significant correlation between PD-1 expression and unfavorable DFS (p=0.025) was observed in the multivariate analysis.

conclusionPD-1 expression in tumor-infiltrating inflammatory cells serves as an independent prognostic factor for unfavorable DSS in patients with ccRCC.
