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

Renal tumors with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus (IVCTT) remain a challenge in urology. However, in vivo models remain unavailable, which hampers the elucidation of its pathogenesis, identification of therapeutic targets, and screening for effective drugs. In this study, we initially develop two IVCTT models in BALB/c and BALB/c-nu/nu mice using the mouse Renca cell line. The pathological features and immune microenvironment of IVCTT in immunocompetent mice closely resembles those observed in humans. Single-cell transcriptome sequencing, immunohistochemistry and multiplex immunohistochemistry reveal a predominance of monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils within IVCTT, mirroring the cellular composition of the human IVCTT; however, fewer lymphocytes are observed. The IVCTT in immunodeficient mice progresses much faster than in immunocompetent mice. More importantly, we successfully use the human tumor cell line on the BALB/c nu/nu mice to create an IVCTT model. The proposed in vivo models mimic the progression of renal tumors with IVCTT, clarify that the immune system can inhibit tumor thrombus progression, and provide tools for subsequent mechanistic research and translational preclinical studies.
