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

The most common types of renal carcinoma is kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). ESM1 is a secreted protein, which involved in, lipids and glucose metabolism, but their role in angiogenesis is contradictory in different disease, especially in KIRC. Bioinformatic analysis confirmed the ESM1 expression and prognosis in KIRC. IHC staining revealed protein expression of ESM1 in KIRC samples. The role of ESM1 in KIRC proliferation and migration were tested by MTT, EdU, transwell analysis. The role of its paracrine function in KIRC angiogenesis was tested by functional experiments. The downstream molecular mechanism of ESM1 were further elucidated by WB and functional experiments. ESM1 was significantly increased in KIRC with prognostic significance. ESM1 knockdown inhibited the invasiveness capability and viability of KIRC cell. The paracrine of ESM1 enhanced HUVECs proliferation and migration to format tube in KIRC cell conditional medium. ESM1 knockdown induced the inactivation of Akt/mTOR and Ras pathway to attenuate proliferation, migration, invasion and angiogenesis in KIRC. ESM1 was a key role in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of KIRC, which promoted the proliferation, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis by activating Akt/mTOR and Ras pathway. It is a potential therapeutic target for KIRC patients.
