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

Abnormal autophagic levels have been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple cancers, however, its role in tumors is complex and has not yet been explored clearly. Hence, we aimed to explore the prognostic values of autophagy-related genes (ARGs) for kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). Differentially expressed ARGs and transcription factors (TFs) were identified in KIRC patients obtaining from the The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Then, networks between TFs and ARGs, gene ontology functional annotations and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis were conducted. Next, we performed consensus clustering, COX regression analysis and Lasso regression analysis to identify the prognostic ARGs. Finally, an individual prognostic index (PI, riskScore) was established. Based on TCGA cohort and ArrayExpress cohort, Survival analysis, ROC curve, independent prognostic analysis, and clinical correlation analysis were also performed to evaluate this PI. Based on differentially expressed ARGs, KIRC patients were successfully divided into two clusters (P = 5.916e-04). AS for PI, it was constructed based on 11 ARGs and significantly classified KIRC patients into high-risk group and low-risk group in terms of OS (P = 4.885e-15 for TCGA cohort, P = 6.366e-03 for ArrayExpress cohort). AUC of its ROC curve reached 0.747 for TCGA cohort and 0.779 for ArrayExpress cohort. What's more, this PI was proven to be a valuable independent prognostic factor in both univariate and multivariate COX regression analysis (P < .001). Prognostic nomograms were also performed to visualize the relationship between individual predictors and survival rates in patients with KIRC. By means of connectivity map database, emetine, cephaeline and co-dergocrine mesilate related to ARGs were found to be negatively correlated with KIRC. This study provided an effective PI for KIRC and also displayed networks between TFs and ARGs. KIRC patients were successfully divided into two clusters based on differentially expressed ARGs. Besides, small molecule drugs related to ARGs were also identified for KIRC.
