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

The regulatory relationship between silent information regulator 2 (SIRT2) and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is still unclear. The present study aimed to explore the function of SIRT2 and its regulatory effect on G6PD in ccRCC. The Cancer Genome Atlas data mining of SIRT2 was first analyzed. Quantitative real-time PCR and western blot analyses were used to assess the mRNA and protein expression levels, respectively. Cell viability, colony formation, cell cycle, cell apoptosis, and TUNEL assays and EdU staining were used to investigate the roles of SIRT2 in ccRCC proliferation and apoptosis. The coimmunoprecipitation (Co-IP) assay was used to analyze the association between SIRT2 and G6PD in ccRCC cells. Quantitative Co-IP assay was used to detect the levels of G6PD ubiquitination and small ubiquitin-related modifier 1 (SUMO1). An in vivo experiment was also carried out to confirm in vitro findings. The results indicated that SIRT2 promoted ccRCC proliferation and inhibited apoptosis by regulating cell cycle and apoptosis related proteins. Silent information regulator 2 interacted with G6PD, facilitated its activity through deacetylation, and increased its stability by reducing its ubiquitination and enhancing its SUMO1 modification. Silent information regulator 2 also promoted ccRCC tumor development in vivo. Taken together, the present study indicated that SIRT2 promoted ccRCC progression by increasing G6PD activity and stability, and it could be a potential new diagnostic and therapeutic target for ccRCC.
