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

B7 homolog 3 (B7-H3) plays an important role in tumor biology, but the molecular mechanism underlying the role of B7-H3 in tumor metastasis remains unclear. In this article, our analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas database suggested that B7-H3 expression is associated with poor prognosis of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). B7-H3 knockdown affected the expression of metastasis-related genes and significantly suppressed the metastasis of ccRCC cells, but it had no significant effect on the proliferation of ccRCC cells. Database analysis revealed a strong positive correlation between B7-H3 and fibronectin (FN) in ccRCC cells, and further study also confirmed that FN interacts with B7-H3. Silencing FN expression inhibited the migration and invasion of ccRCC cells, whereas exogenous FN promoted the migration and invasion of ccRCC cells, which was accompanied by activation of kinases [namely, phosphorylated (p)-phosphoinositide 3-kinase, p-protein kinase B, p-p38 and p-extracellular regulated protein kinase]. B7-H3 knockdown abolished the prometastatic effect of FN. In conclusion, our data suggest that B7-H3 binds to exogenous FN and promotes the metastasis of ccRCC cells.
