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

To evaluate the validity of CHAC1 for predicting the prognosis of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) and to explore its therapeutic potential for KIRC, we conducted several bioinformatic analyses using the sequencing data and clinical information derived from online databases. We found CHAC1 is down-regulated in KIRC samples when compared with normal samples but up-regulated in KIRC samples with relatively higher malignancy and later stages. Univariate cox analysis and multivariate cox regression analysis were conducted and the results revealed up-regulated CHAC1 is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis of KIRC. Further, the nomogram model based on the result of multivariate cox regression analysis was constructed and effectively predicted patients' 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival respectively. The correlation analyses showed CHAC1 is associated with the immune pathway markers of memory B cell, natural killer cell and type1 T helper cell as well as the checkpoint genes like ADORA2A, CD200, CD44, CD70, HHLA2, NRP1, PDCD1LG2 and TNFRSF18. Furthermore, experiments in vitro indicated CHAC1 could induce cell death in KIRC cell lines but had limited influence on cell migration and cell invasion. In conclusion, CHAC1 is found a valid indicator for poor prognosis of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma.
