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 aggressiveness of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) associated with Xp11.2 translocation/TFE3 gene fusion (Xp11.2 translocation RCC [Xp11.2 tRCC]) is age-dependent, which is similar to the overall trend of reproductive endocrine hormones. Therefore, this study focused on the effect and potential mechanism of androgen and androgen receptor (AR) on the progression of Xp11.2 tRCC.

methodsThe effects of androgen and AR on the proliferation and migration of Xp11.2 tRCC cells were first evaluated utilising Xp11.2 tRCC cell lines and tissues. Because Transcription factor enhancer 3 (TFE3) fusion proteins play a key role in Xp11.2 tRCC, we focused on the regulatory role of AR and TFE3 expression and transcriptional activity.

resultsWhen Xp11.2 tRCC cells were treated with dihydrotestosterone, increased cell proliferation, invasion and migration were observed. Compared with clear cell RCC, the positive rate of AR in Xp11.2 tRCC tissues was higher, and its expression was negatively associated with the progression-free survival of Xp11.2 tRCC. Further studies revealed that AR could positively regulate the transcriptional activity of TFE3 fusion proteins by small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO)-specific protease 1, inducing the deSUMOylation of TFE3 fusion. On the other hand, UCHL1 negatively regulated by AR plays a role in the deubiquitination degradation of the PRCC-TFE3 fusion protein. Therefore, the combination of the AR inhibitor MDV3100 and the UCHL1 inhibitor 6RK73 was effective in delaying the progression of Xp11.2 tRCC, especially PRCC-TFE3 tRCC.

conclusionsAndrogen and AR function as facilitators in Xp11.2 tRCC progression and may be a novel therapeutic target for Xp11.2 tRCC. The combined use of AR antagonist MDV3100 and UCHL1 inhibitor 6RK73 increased both the SUMOylation and ubiquitination of the PRCC-TFE3 fusion protein.
