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

We developed and validated a new prognostic model for predicting the overall survival in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients. In this study, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms including random forest and neural network were trained to build a molecular prognostic score (mPS) system. Afterwards, we investigated the potential mechanisms underlying mPS by assessing gene set enrichment analysis, mutations, copy number variations (CNVs) and immune cell infiltration. A total of 275 prognosis-related genes were identified, which were also differentially expressed between ccRCC patients and healthy controls. We then constructed a universal mPS system that depends on the expression status of only 21 of these genes by applying AI-based algorithms. Then, the mPS were validated by another independent cohort and demonstrated to be applicable to ccRCC subsets. Furthermore, a nomogram comprising the mPS score and several independent variables was established and proved to effectively predict ccRCC patient prognosis. Finally, significant differences were identified regarding the pathways, mutated genes, CNVs and tumor-infiltrating immune cells among the subgroups of ccRCC stratified by the mPS system. The AI-based mPS system can provide critical prognostic prediction for ccRCC patients and may be useful to inform treatment and surveillance decisions before initial intervention.
