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

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide. The clinical treatment of ccRCC is strongly associated with the tumor microenvironment (TME). Identifying potential markers of ccRCC is important to improve prognosis. Therefore, in the present study, the levels of immune/stromal components and the proportion of tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs) were determined in 611 ccRCC samples using the ESTIMATE and CIBERSORT analytical tools. Subsequently, hydroxysteroid 11-beta dehydrogenase-1 (HSD11B1) was identified by univariate Cox regression analysis, protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks and clinical survival analysis to be associated with ccRCC prognosis. At the same time, the abundance of HSD11B1 increased significantly in ccRCC was verified by western blotting, RT‑qPCR and immunostaining analysis. Furthermore, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) and TME suggested that HSD11B1 was involved in TME immune-related status. Taken together, the results of the present study demonstrated that HSD11B1 is a potential prognostic biomarker associated with immune cell infiltration in ccRCC.
