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

backgroundThis study aimed to develop and validate a novel angiogenesis-related gene (ARG) signature and molecular subtypes by bioinformatics analysis. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe transcriptome data and clinical data were obtained from TCGA and ICGC database. We performed consensus clustering analysis to identify angiogenesis molecular subtypes for ccRCC. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to develop a novel ARG-related signature as a prognostic biomarker for ccRCC. Internal and external validation were then performed in TCGA and ICGC cohort, respectively.

resultsWe identified a total of two angiogenesis molecular subtypes of ccRCC. The overall survival (OS) of subtype 1 ccRCC was significantly decreased compared with that of subtype 2 ccRCC (P=0.001). These two molecular subtypes have significantly different tumor microenvironment and immune checkpoint inhibitor sensitivities (P<0.05). Besides, we developed a novel signature based on three ARGs (including MSX1, TIMP1 and JAG2) for subtype 1 ccRCC. The difference in OS between high- and low-risk group was statistically significant in training cohort (P=0.009), test cohort (P=0.024), the whole type 1 cohort (P<0.001), and validation cohort (P=0.041). The AUC for one-year OS prediction was 0.732, 0.710, 0.725, and 0.645 in training cohort, test cohort, the whole type 1 cohort, and validation cohort, respectively. Independent prognostic analysis showed that this signature was an independent predictor for OS of subtype 1 ccRCC (P=0.028914). The power of this prognostic signature was superior to other signatures reported in previous studies.

conclusionWe developed and successfully validated a novel ARG signature for predicting prognosis of subtype 1 ccRCC, which was superior to several previous signatures.
