TOLLIP Protein Expression Predicts Unfavorable Outcome in Renal Cell Carcinoma.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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.
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
Resistance to systemic therapy is one of the hallmarks of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Recently, TOLLIP has emerged as a possible driver of autophagy and chemoresistance. We explored the relationship between primary and metastatic RCC tumor characteristics, patient survival, and TOLLIP expression. The tissue microarrays cohort contained 95 cores of the primary tumor, matched metastases, and matched adjacent tissues derived from 32 RCC patients. TOLLIP expression in tumor samples was evaluated using the H-score. All examined samples showed cytoplasmic TOLLIP expression, with a median value of 100 in primary tumors, 107.5 in metastases, and 220 in the control group. The expression was significantly higher in the normal adjacent tissues compared to primary or metastatic RCC (p < 0.05). We found a positive correlation between expressions of TOLLIP in the primary tumor and its metastases (p < 0.05; k = 0.48). TOLLIP expression significantly correlates with a lower overall survival rate (p = 0.047). TOLLIP functions as a ubiquitin-LC3 adaptor in the intracellular pathway associated with autophagy. Relative TOLLIP overexpression may augment autophagy-related signaling, limiting susceptibility to therapy. The blockade of TOLLIP physiological function seems to be a promising approach to overcoming resistance to systemic therapy.
