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 tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is caused by mutation in either of 2 tumor suppressor genes, TSC-1 (encodes hamartin) and TSC-2 (encodes tuberin). In humans, deficiency in TSC1/2 is associated with benign tumors in many organs, including renal angiomyolipoma (AML) but rarely renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In contrast, deficiency of TSC function in the Eker rat is associated with RCC. Here, we have investigated the activity of PI 3-K and the expression of PTEN, p53, tuberin, p-mTOR, and p-p70S6K in both Eker rat RCC and human renal AML. Compared to normal tissue, increased PI 3-K activity was detected in RCC of Eker rats but not in human AML tissue. In contrast, PTEN was highly expressed in AML but significantly reduced in the renal tumors of Eker rats. Phosphorylation on Ser(2448) of mTOR and Thr(389) of p70S6K were significantly increased in both RCC and AML compared to matching control tissue. Total tuberin was significantly decreased in AML while completely lost in RCC of Eker rats. Our data also show that while p53 protein expression is lost in rat RCC, it was highly elevated in AML. These novel data provide evidence that loss of TSC-2, PTEN, and p53 as well as activation of PI 3-K and mTOR is associated with kidney cancer in the Eker rat, while sustained expression of TSC-2, PTEN, and p53 may prevent progression of kidney cancer in TSC patients.
