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 one of the most common malignant tumors of the urinary system. Distant metastasis is the leading cause of poor prognosis in ccRCC. However, ccRCC is found poorly responsitive to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Effective therapeutic strategies for its metastasis remain scarce. We analyzed clinical samples and public database, for differential expression of SLC27A2 and further explored its relationship with clinical prognosis. Biochemistry and functional experiments were carried out to study the potential mechanisms of SLC27A2, CDK3, and EMT. SLC27A2 was significantly downregulated in clinical specimens and renal cancer cell lines and predicted poor prognosis. We found that specific upregulation of SLC27A2 could significantly inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of renal cancer cell lines. SLC27A2 could also influence the Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) signaling pathway, linked to the progression and metastasis of renal cancer. Using whole transcriptome sequencing of SLC27A2, CDK3 was identified as a regulatory SLC27A2 target. In terms of mechanism, SLC27A2 may further inhibit the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition by negatively regulating CDK3. Our work suggests that functional inhibition of SLC27A2-CDK3-EMT axis may be an attractive therapeutic target for metastasis of ccRCC.
