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

Background: Na Methods: Using NHERF1/EBP50 immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 64 (82%) RCCs (34 clear cells, 21 papillary and 9 chromophobe types) and 14 (18%) oncocytomas, we evaluated and scored NHERF1/EBP50 immunoexpression depending on the World Health Organization (WHO)/International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grading system followed by ultrastructural identification of microlumen-like structures (MLS) in clear cell renal cell carcinomas (ccRCC). Results: Staining patterns varied throughout the tumors and within individual tumors. Only ccRCC showed unique MLS within the cytoplasm of tumor cells. All neoplasia-transformed tubular cells, regardless of the tumor grade and stage, had altered immunoexpression of NHERF1/EBP50 ranging from complete absence to aberrant expression in the luminal cell membrane, nuclear or cytoplasmic localizations. Conclusions: Only ccRCC showed unique dot-like condensations of immunostaining/MLS at membranous, submembranous, and paranuclear localizations. The latter two localizations were mainly observed in the combined WHO/ISUP grade 1 and 2 group compared to the combined group of grade 3 and 4 tumor samples (P=0.0146 and P<0.0001, respectively). Ultrastructurally, the MLS were identified as thick microvilli trapped by a single-layer membrane, displaced into the cytoplasm and ranging from 400 nm to 3.5 µm. These significant ultrastructural reorganizations may contribute to tumor progression, metastasis, and drug resistance.
