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

backgroundClear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most common type of kidney malignancy. The proline-rich Akt substrate of 40 kDa (PRAS40) plays an important role in tumor growth. The present study aimed to analysis the prognostic value of PRAS40 mRNA expression in ccRCC.

methodsWe analyzed the PRAS40 mRNA expression using the data from TCGA-KIRC cohort. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was performed to assessed the diagnostic value of PRAS40 mRNA expression in ccRCC. Chi-square test was used to analyzed the correlation between clinical characteristics and PRAS40 mRNA expression. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox analysis were performed to determine the prognostic value of PRAS40 mRNA expression in ccRCC. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was conducted using TCGA database.

resultsOur results revealed that PRAS40 mRNA expression was higher in ccRCC tissues than in normal tissues. PRAS40 presented a moderate diagnostic value in ccRCC. High PRAS40 mRNA expression was correlated with histological grade, clinical stage, T classification, distant metastasis and vital status of ccRCC. High PRAS40 mRNA expression was associated with poor overall survival. Furthermore, Multivariate analysis revealed that PRAS40 was an independent risk factor for ccRCC patients. Myc targets, DNA repair, oxidative phosphorylation, glycolysis, adipogenesis, p53 pathway, reactive oxygen species pathway, myogenesis were differentially enriched in the phenotype that positively correlated with PRAS40.

conclusionsIn conclusion, our results suggest that PRAS40 was a promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for ccRCC.
