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

Background: GRAM structural domain-containing protein 1A (GRAMD1A) is upregulated in a variety of human cancer tissues and is closely associated with tumourigenesis and progression. Methods: Patient RNA-sequencing data and clinicopathological information were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. The expression of GRAMD1A in kidney cancer cell lines and KIRC patients was analysed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curves, nomograms, Kaplan-Meier analysis, forest plots, and COX analysis were used to assess the diagnostic and prognostic value of GRAMD1A in KIRC, and gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was used to explore its potential signalling pathways. In addition, the Sangerbox website, Kaplan-Meier plotter database, and TISIDB and TIMER databases were used to further analyse the correlation of GRAMD1A with microsatellite instability (MSI), tumour mutational burden (TMB), immune checkpoint genes, and tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Results: GRAMD1A was significantly highly expressed in KIRC and associated with shorter overall survival and relapse-free survival ( Conclusions: GRAMD1A is a promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for patients with KIRC, and its biological function correlates to some extent with immune infiltration in TME.
