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

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common and aggressive subtype of kidney cancer, with high mortality rates worldwide. The sonic hedgehog (SHH) molecular cascade is altered in various malignancies in tumorigenesis, and several SHH pathway inhibitors have been considered as potential anticancer drugs. The aim of the present study was to determine the expression profile of SHH signaling components and their target genes in ccRCC. Additionally, the present study examined the effects of SHH pathway inhibitory drugs (RU‑SKI43, cyclopamine and GLI‑antagonist 61) on cell viability, cell cycle progression, expression levels of SHH target genes and migration ability in 786‑O, ACHN and HK2 cells. The study also included paired tumor and normal samples from 62 patients with ccRCC. The mRNA levels in clinical samples and cell lines were measured via reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR. Cell viability was examined using a sulforhodamine B assay. Flow cytometry was used to investigate cell cycle progression and the migratory rate of cells was assessed using a wound healing assay. High mRNA levels of
