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 a type of malignant tumor of the urinary system. The renal vein or vena cava thrombus can be found in a subset of ccRCC patients in whom it leads to worse prognosis. However, the protein expression profile and molecular features of ccRCC thrombus remain largely unclear. Here, a comparative proteomic analysis was performed using the 2D-LC-MS strategy for the thrombus-tumor-normal tissue triples of 15 ccRCC patients. Statistical analysis, GO enrichment analysis, protein-protein interaction network construction, and mRNA-based survival analysis were used to interpret the proteomic data. Three dysregulated proteins, GGT5 (gamma-glutamyl transferase 5), KRT7 (keratin 7) and CFHR1 (complement factor H related 1), were analyzed using western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) to validate the reliability of the proteomic analysis. The result of this analysis revealed 251 dysregulated proteins, which could be divided into 11 clusters depending on the changing trends, among the thrombus, tumor, and normal tissues. Several pathways and regulation networks were found to be associated with the thrombus, and some dysregulated proteins showed potential values for prognosis prediction. WB and IHC results were in accordance with the proteomic results, further validating the reliability of this study. In conclusion, our findings provide an overview of the thrombus at the molecular level as well as valuable information for further pathological studies or research on biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
