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

Most patients with renal cancer will develop resistance to sorafenib therapy and will therefore exhibit disease progression. Effective therapies for these patients are extremely limited. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) promotes the malignant transformation of cancer cells and drug resistance. The potential of COX-2 inhibitor (celecoxib) administration in combination with sorafenib for the treatment of renal cancer is unclear. The present study demonstrated that sorafenib rapidly increased the expression of COX-2 in renal cancer cells, as determined using reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting. The results of the MTT assay and cell apoptosis experiment demonstrated that the cytotoxicity of sorafenib was also affected by COX-2 expression and celecoxib enhanced the cytotoxicity of sorafenib against renal cell carcinoma. Immunofluorescence analysis indicated that sorafenib induced the formation of stress granules (SGs) in renal cancer cells. In addition, COX-2 expression was associated with the formation of SGs, and SGs could capture and stabilize COX-2 mRNAs in renal cancer cells; this was confirmed using RNA fluorescence
