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 expression level of NEDD4L, an E3 ubiquitin ligase, has changed significantly in human cancers. In this study, we aimed to study the expression of NEDD4L in pan-carcinoma and its function in malignant tumors. We analyzed the gene expression level of NEDD4L in pan-cancer from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) microarray data set, the correlation between gene expression and overall survival, disease-specific survival, and tumor immune microenvironment changes. NEDD4L expression changes in half of the cancer types. Low expression of NEDD4L gene predicts poor overall survival and disease-specific survival (DSS) in renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) and renal chromophobe cell carcinoma (KIRP). NEDD4L is negatively related to interstitial cell infiltration and immune cell infiltration in most common cancers. Furthermore, the low expression of NEDD4L was verified in our clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) clinical tissues. In ccRCC cells, NEDD4L overexpression significantly reduced cell proliferation and migration. In the functional analysis, we proved that NEDD4L could inhibit ERBB3 and MAPK signaling pathways. When cells are deficient in nutrition, NEDD4L promoted the degradation of the autophagy regulatory protein ULK1. Our study provides novel insights into the role of NEDD4L in pan-cancer. NEDD4L may play a tumor suppressor effect in ccRCC, through tumor immune regulation and ubiquitination of key intracellular kinases.
