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

backgroundClear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide, but there is lack of reliable clinical diagnostic biomarkers. We explored the clinical value and functions of Talin 2 (TLN2) in the progression of ccRCC.

methodsA bioinformatic analysis was performed to determine the clinical value of TLN2 in ccRCC. TLN2 expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC), real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and western blot in ccRCC tissues and cells. The functions of TLN2 in ccRCC were investigated by both

resultsTLN2 was downregulated in ccRCC tissues and cells. Clinically, TLN2 was confirmed to be an independent factor for ccRCC patient prognosis. Results of colony formation and CCK-8 assays showed that TLN2 overexpression inhibited ccRCC cell growth. Moreover, wound healing assays and transwell assays indicated that TLN2 overexpression inhibited ccRCC cell invasion and migration.

conclusionsTLN2 served as a tumor regulator of ccRCC via Wnt/β catenin signaling, suggesting that it could be a promising therapeutic and prognostic biomarker for ccRCC.
