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

backgroundThe BAP1 mutation is commonly found kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) and a potential biomarker of individualized therapy. We evaluated the clinical significance of BAP1 mutation in the prognosis and treatment therapies for KIRC. Potential key pathways and related genes associated with these mechanisms were also identified in this investigation.

methodsWe identified the relevant data of patients BAP1 mutated on the cBioPortal and the compounds with significant selectivity to BAP1 mutations on the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer (GDSC). And then, we identified the differences in mRNA expression levels of biological function annotation and pathways between mutated and wild type BAP1 patients by GSEA analysis. Furthermore, we screened the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between BAP1 mutated and wild typed in KIRC patients and performed the GO and KEGG analysis. Finally, we conducted a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network to investigate the interaction between proteins encoded by candidate DEGs.

resultsReview of the TCGA data revealed 41 patients (10%) with KIRC displayed the BAP1 mutation. Further analysis led to the identification of 730 DEGs, while 617 genes were shown to be down-regulated, with 113 genes displaying upregulation. GO and KEGG pathway analysis indicated DEGs as enriched in metabolism, drug metabolism-cytochrome P450, and Drug-metabolizing enzymes. Subsequently, the top 10 hub genes, ranked by the degree in the PPI network were identified. Furthermore, our findings verify that the BAP1 mutation was associated with the deterioration of prognosis in patients with KIRC. Additionally, analysis of the GDSC database revealed that KIRC patients with BPP1 mutation are more prone to responding to Linsitinib.

conclusionsOur investigation identified the main pathways and relevant genes related to the BAP1 mutation in KIRC, which can contribute to the development of targeted treatment strategies for enhanced prognostic predictions of KIRC.
