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

introductionClear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a malignant tumor characterized by poor prognosis and difficult treatment. Ferroptosis is a relatively new form of programmed cell death that involved in cancer development and therapy resistance. Studies have shown that targeted ferroptosis may be a novel option for the treatment of ccRCC, but key genes and their roles between ferroptosis and ccRCC are limited so far. This study aims to develop a ccRCC stratified model based on ferroptosis-related genes to provide a reference for the prognosis prediction and the individualized treatment of ccRCC. MATERIALS AND

methodsThe mRNAs expression data of ccRCC and FRGs were obtained from TCGA and FerrDb database, respectively. Through multiple analysis, a 4-FRG based prognostic stratified model was constructed and its predictive performance was validated through various methods. Then, a nomogram based on the model was constructed and ccRCC patients stratified by the model were analyzed for tumor microenvironment, immune infiltration, sensitivity for immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)/traditional anti-tumor therapy and tumor mutation burden (TMB). Functional enrichment analysis was performed to explore potential biological pathways. Finally, we verified our model by RT-qPCR, siRNA transfection, scratch assay and CCK-8 assay.

resultsIn this study, the stratified model and a model-based nomogram can accurately predict the prognosis of ccRCC patients in TCGA database. The patients stratified by the model showed different tumor microenvironments, immune infiltration, TMB, resistance to traditional and ICIs therapy, and sensitivity to ferroptosis. Functional enrichment analysis suggested several biological pathways related to the process and prognosis of ccRCC. RT-qPCR confirmed the differential expression of ferroptosis-related genes. Scratch assay and CCK-8 assay indicated the promotion effects of CD44 on the proliferation and migration of ccRCC.

conclusionIn this study, we established a novel ccRCC stratified model based on FRGs, which can accurately predict the prognosis of ccRCC patients and provide a reference for clinical individualized treatment.
