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

backgroundThe tumor-suppressive role of protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type O (PTPRO) has been described in a variety of human cancers; however, the clinical significance of PTPRO in human clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains unclear.

methodsPTPRO expression in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) was analyzed via the Oncomine database, Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets, and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) datasets. The Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox proportional hazards model were used to evaluate the relationship of PTPRO with overall survival in ccRCC. Gene ontology (GO) analysis and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) were performed to explore the signaling pathways in which PTPRO may be involved. The correlation between PTPRO and immune infiltrates in ccRCC was investigated via Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) database. The association between PTPRO mRNA expression and its methylation in RCC was analyzed using the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) dataset, GEO dataset, and cBioPortal database. The impact of PTPRO methylation on overall survival was estimated by the MethSurv database.

resultsWe showed that the expression of PTPRO was significantly lower in human RCC. Moreover, the lower expression of PTPRO was associated with worse overall survival in ccRCC, particularly in the advanced stage patients. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed the expression of PTPRO as an independent prognostic predictor for overall survival of ccRCC. Of note, PTPRO was found to be associated with the activation of immune signaling and immune cell infiltration. Furthermore, methylation of PTPRO was prevalently observed in ccRCC, and methylation of PTPRO predicted the poor outcome of ccRCC.

conclusionsOur findings suggested that PTPRO at both RNA and DNA methylation levels had the potential as a prognostic biomarker for predicting prognosis, and PTPRO expression was closely associated with immune infiltration in ccRCC patients.
