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

Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHD) patients are uniquely susceptible to all renal tumor subtypes. However, the underlying mechanism of carcinogenesis is unclear. To study cancer development in BHD, we used human proximal kidney (HK2) cells and found that long-term folliculin (FLCN) knockdown was required to increase the tumorigenic potential of these cells, as evidenced by the formation of larger spheroids under nonadherent conditions. Transcriptomic and proteomic analyses revealed links between the FLCN, cell cycle control and DNA damage response (DDR) machinery. In addition, HK2 cells lacking FLCN had an altered transcriptome profile and enriched cell cycle control genes. G
