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

backgroundVHL mutation is the most common mutation in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Here, we developed and validated an immune-related signature to predict the prognosis of ccRCC with VHL mutations.

methodsVHL mutation status and RNA expression were analysed in the TCGA datasets and our cohort. LASSO Cox analysis was performed to develop an immune-related signature. Candidate genes for the immune-related signature were differentially expressed between VHLwt and VHLmut ccRCC patients.

resultsVHL mutations resulted in the downregulation of the immune response in ccRCC. To develop an immune-related signature, LASSO Cox analysis was constructed by immune-related genes that were differentially expressed between VHLwt (WHL wild type) and VHLmut (VHL mutation) ccRCC patients. The signature was developed and validated in the TCGA and our own cohort to classify patients into groups based on having a low or high risk of poor survival. Functional enrichment analysis showed that the immune-related pathway represented the major function and pathway. In addition, patients in the high-risk group had a positive correlation with low fractions of CD4 + T cells and dendritic cells and presented a lower expression of CTLA-4 and PD-1 than the low-risk group.

conclusionIn this study, we proposed a novel immune-related signature, which is a feasible biomarker for predicting the overall survival in VHLmut patients with ccRCC.
