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

Previous studies have showed that proteasome activator complex subunit 2 (PSME2) may play a role in some types of cancer. However, the involvement of PSME2 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains unknown. The aim of the present study was to assess the poorly understood function of PSME2 expression in renal carcinoma. Using bioinformatics analysis, PSME2 mRNA expression profiles were investigated, along with its potential prognostic value and its functional enrichment. Signaling pathways and putative hub genes associated with PSME2 in ccRCC were identified. Based on the bioinformatics analysis results, immunohistochemistry of human ccRCC samples and renal carcinoma cell lines (CAKI‑1 and 786‑O) transfected with short interfering RNA targeting PSME2 were analyzed using western blot analysis, reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR, immunofluorescence, and Cell Counting Kit‑8, Transwell and transmission electron microscope assays. The results showed that when PSME2 expression was knocked down, the invasive abilities of the tumor cell lines were reduced, while autophagy was enhanced. The present study demonstrated that PSME2 was associated with the invasion ability of ccRCC cell lines by inhibiting BNIP3‑mediated autophagy. In summary, PSME2 could be used as a prognostic factor and a promising therapeutic target in ccRCC.
