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

introductionJanus kinase 3 (JAK3) is a well-established oncogene in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). The methylation status of oncogene promoters has emerged as biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

objectiveThis study aims to investigate the biological and clinical significance of JAK3 promoter methylation in ccRCC.

methodsWe analyzed the relationship of JAK3 promoter methylation with its mRNA expression, overall survival, and immune cell infiltration in a cohort obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), which was further validated by another independent cohort. We further validated correlations of JAK3 promoter methylation with JAK3 expression, overall survival, and immune cell infiltration in an independent ccRCC cohort (Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC) cohort) by methods of immunohistochemistry (IHC) and pyrosequencing.

resultsWe found JAK3 promoter was significantly hypomethylated in tumor tissues compared to normal adjacent tissues in ccRCC, and JAK3 promoter hypomethylation was strongly correlated with high JAK3 mRNA expression in all three ccRCC cohorts we examined. JAK3 promoter hypomethylation predicted advanced clinicopathological characteristics and shorter overall survival (TCGA cohort and SYSUCC cohort). Furthermore, we found that JAK3 promoter methylation was significantly associated with immune cell infiltration and expression of immune checkpoint molecules (TCGA cohort and CPTAC cohort). Finally, our SYSUCC cohort validated that JAK3 promoter methylation was correlated with CD4

conclusionOur data demonstrated that the crucial role of JAK3 promoter methylation in its expression regulation and tumor microenvironment. JAK3 promoter methylation and expression are associated with clinicopathological characteristics, overall survival, and immune cell infiltration in ccRCC. We propose a rationale for further validation of JAK3 promoter methylation as a molecular biomarker for predicting responses to immune checkpoint inhibitors in ccRCC.
