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

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by abnormal lipid accumulation. Celastrol is a pentacyclic triterpene extracted from Tripterygium wilfordii Hook F with anti-cancer activity. In the present study, the anticancer effects of celastrol on ccRCC and the underlying mechanisms were studied. Patients with reduced high density lipoprotein (HDL) and elevated levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL) was found to have higher risk of ccRCC. In ccRCC clinical samples and cell lines, caveolin-1 (CAV-1) was highly expressed. CAV-1 was identified as a potential prognostic biomarker for ccRCC. Celastrol inhibited tumor growth and decreased lipid deposition promoted by high-fat diet
