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

Increasing evidence suggests the essential regulation of RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification in carcinogenesis and immune response. Nevertheless, the potential impacts of these modifications on the tumor microenvironment (TME) immune cell infiltration characteristics in clear-cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remain unclear. Utilizing a consensus clustering algorithm, we determined three m6A modification patterns and identified three m6A-related gene clusters among 569 ccRCC samples, which were associated with different biological functions and clinical outcomes. Thereafter, the m6A score was constructed using m6A-associated signature genes to accurately exploit the m6A modification patterns within individual tumors. The m6A score was further demonstrated to be noticeably related to ccRCC prognosis. In addition, the m6A score was found to be strongly correlated with tumor mutational burden (TMB), microsatellite instability, immune infiltration, immune checkpoint expression, and immunotherapy response, which was also validated in the pan-cancer analyses. Our findings thoroughly elucidated that m6A modification contributes to tumor microenvironment immune-infiltrating characteristics and prognosis in ccRCC. Assessing the m6A modification patterns of individual patients with ccRCC will offer novel insights into TME infiltration and help develop more effective treatment strategies.
