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

Background: Accumulating data have shown that high expression of CD73 is associated with poor prognosis in various cancers, however the role and significance of CD73 in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) still remain unclear. The present study aims to evaluate the prognostic significance of CD73 in ccRCC and explore the potential function Methods: Firstly, the expression of CD73 in ccRCC was detected using clinical tissues and verified using TCGA and GEO data. Immunohistochemistry and Kaplan-Meier test were performed for survival analysis. Furthermore, knockdown or overexpression of CD73 was conducted by lentivirus transfection in ccRCC cells. MTT assay, colony formation assay, wound healing assay, transwell assay and xenograft assay were performed Results: Our results showed that CD73 was highly expressed in ccRCC, and high expression of CD73 was negatively correlated with prognosis. In addition, CD73 promoted cell proliferation and migration Conclusions: These findings suggested that CD73 might promote the growth of ccRCC and contribute to poor prognosis. Taken together, CD73 may be a potential therapeutic target in ccRCC.
