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

backgroundThe tumor microenvironment (TME) plays an important role in the progression of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are considered to constitute a major component of the TME and participate in various tumor-promoting molecular events. We have previously confirmed that CD248 represents a promising biomarker of CAFs, which may provide insight into CAF-based tumor-promoting effects. However, CAF-mediated tumor progression and the potential mechanism of CD248 remain largely unknown in RCC patients.

methodsExpression profiling and clinical data of RCC patients were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. An MCP-counter algorithm and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were performed to explore the prognostic value of CAFs and CD248, respectively. A Pearson correlation coefficient test and Student's

resultsCD248 overexpression and CAF infiltration could predict poor RCC prognosis, which may involve the immunosuppressive TME. CD248 may serve as a promising CAFs biomarker and be involved with the tumor-promoting effect of CAFs. Moreover, CD248
