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

N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most common type of RNA methylation and is considered to participate in various biological and pathological processes, specifically in the regulation of tumorigenesis and metastasis. However, the exact prognostic role of m6A methylation regulators in early-stage clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is currently unknown. In the present study, a prognostic model consisting of m6A RNA methylation regulators in early stage ccRCC was constructed and the reliability of the signature was assessed by proteomics and immunohistochemistry. Additionally, the relationship between the prognostic model and tumor infiltrating immune cells within the tumor microenvironment was investigated. Gene mutation and RNA sequencing data of 19 m6A methylation regulators for early-stage ccRCC patients were extracted from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database with the corresponding clinical information. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were applied to construct a prognostic model and the proteomic data as well as immunohistochemistry were used to validate the result. The correlations between the prognostic model and tumor infiltrating immune cells were assessed using Spearman's rank correlation analysis. A total of 192 early stage ccRCC gene mutation data as well as 261 RNA sequencing data with relative clinical data were extracted from the TCGA. The overall mutation frequency of the 19 m6A RNA methylation regulators was relatively low with 4.69%. The transcriptome data revealed that 11 genes were differentially expressed between cancer tissues and relatively normal tissues. Survival analysis highlighted four specific genes as having a significant influence on overall survival. An established model with four genes demonstrated the best predictability for early-stage ccRCC. After integrating clinical characteristics into the multivariate analysis, the model remained effective at predicting ccRCC prognosis. Spearman's rank analysis suggested several tumor infiltrating immune cells such as dendric cells, CD4
