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

Angiogenesis, a process highly regulated by pro-angiogenic and anti-angiogenic factors, is disrupted and dysregulated in cancer. Despite the increased clinical use of angiogenesis inhibitors in cancer therapy, most molecularly targeted drugs have been less effective than expected. Therefore, an in-depth exploration of the angiogenesis pathway is warranted. In this study, the expression of angiogenesis-related genes in various cancers was explored using The Cancer Genome Atlas datasets, whereupon it was found that most of them were protective genes in the patients with kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). We divided the samples from the KIRC dataset into three clusters according to the mRNA expression levels of these genes, with the enrichment scores being in the order of Cluster 2 (upregulated expression) > Cluster 3 (normal expression) > Cluster 1 (downregulated expression). The survival curves plotted for the three clusters revealed that the patients in Cluster 2 had the highest overall survival rates.
