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

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a common urinary system malignant tumor with a high incidence and recurrence rate. Pyroptosis is a kind of programmed cell death caused by inflammasomes. More and more evidence had confirmed that pyroptosis plays a very significant part in cancer, and it is controversial whether pyroptosis promotes or inhibits tumors. Consistently, its potential role in ccRCC treatment efficacy and prognosis remains unclear. In this study, we systematically investigated the role of pyroptosis in the ccRCC samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Based on the differentially expressed pyroptosis-related genes (DEPRGs), we identified three pyroptosis subtypes with different clinical outcomes, immune signatures, and responses to immunotherapy. Gene set variation analysis (GSVA), Gene Ontology (GO) analysis, and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed that pyroptosis activation meant infiltration of more immune cells that is conducive to tumor progression. To further investigate the immunomodulatory effect of pyroptosis in ccRCC, we constructed a pyroptosis-score based on the common differential prognostic genes of the three pyroptosis subtypes. It was found that patients with high pyroptosis-score were in an unfavorable immune environment and the prognosis was worse. Gene set enrichment analysis suggested that immune-related biological processes were activated in the high pyroptosis-score group. Then, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression was implemented for constructing a prognostic model of eight pyroptosis-related long noncoding RNAs (PRlncRNAs) in the TCGA dataset, and the outcomes revealed that, compared with the low-risk group, the model-based high-risk group was intently associated with poor overall survival (OS). We further explored the relationship between high- and low-risk groups with tumor microenvironment (TME), immune infiltration, and drug therapy. Finally, we constructed and confirmed a robust and reliable PRlncRNA pairs prediction model of ccRCC, identified PRlncRNA, and verified it by experiments. Our findings suggested the potential role of pyroptosis in ccRCC, offering new insights into the prognosis of ccRCC and guiding effectual targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
