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 frequent malignant tumor of the kidney which has a dismal prognosis. At present, targeted therapies and immunotherapy have achieved significant results; however, the overall survival rate of patients with ccRCC remains unacceptably poor. It is therefore necessary to find novel therapeutic and diagnostic targets for ccRCC. It has been reported that enolase 2 (ENO2) is an oncogene, although its function in the immune microenvironment and in the growth of ccRCC has yet to be fully elucidated. The present study analyzed the data of patients with ccRCC both from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) databases, and from clinical samples obtained from Third Affiliated Hospital of the Second Military Medical University to investigate the role of ENO2 in the progression of ccRCC and the correlation between ENO2 and certain clinical features. It was found that the expression of ENO2 was elevated both in patients with ccRCC retrieved from the GEO and TCGA databases and in clinical ccRCC samples obtained from Third Affiliated Hospital of the Second Military Medical University. In addition, the prognosis of patients was poorer when ENO2 was highly expressed. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) confirmed that ENO2 participated in the regulation of various pathways in ccRCC. In vitro experiments including Cell Counting Kit‑8 cell proliferation assay, Transwell and Matrigel assays confirmed that ENO2 could promote the proliferation and migration of ccRCC cells. Furthermore, a number of immunosuppressive indicators were identified that positively correlated with ENO2 expression. In conclusion, the present study revealed that ENO2 expression promotes the proliferation, invasion and migration of ccRCC cells, and may serve as a novel predictor to evaluate prognosis and the efficacy of immune checkpoint blockade treatment for patients with ccRCC.
