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: Currently, immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-based therapy has become the first-line treatment for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, few biomarkers have been identified to predict the response to ICI therapy in RCC patients. Herein, our research aimed to build a gene mutation prognostic indicator for ICI therapy. Methods: This multi-cohort study explored the mutation patterns in 2 publicly available advanced RCC ICI therapy cohorts, the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) advanced RCC ICI therapy cohort and the CheckMate ICI therapy cohort. A total of 261 patients in the CheckMate ICI therapy cohort were randomly assigned to either the training or validation set. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) logistic regression analysis was subsequently used to develop a mutation classifier utilizing the training set. The classifier was then validated internally in the validation set and externally in 2 ICI therapy cohorts and 2 non-ICI therapy cohorts. Survival analysis, receiver operator characteristic curves and Harrell's concordance index were performed to assess the prognostic value of the classifier. Function and immune microenvironment analysis in each subgroup defined by the classifier were performed. Results: A 10-gene mutation classifier was constructed based on the CheckMate ICI therapy cohort to separate patients into 2 risk groups, with patients in the high-risk group showing significantly lower overall survival probability than those in the low-risk group [the training set (HR: 1.791; 95% CI: 1.207-2.657; P=0.003), the validation set (HR: 1.842; 95% CI: 1.133-2.996; P=0.012) and combination set (HR: 1.819; 95% CI: 1.339-2.470; P<0.001)]. Further validation confirmed that the mutation classifier only showed predictive value for patients receiving ICI therapy instead of non-ICI therapy. Combined with the clinical characteristics, the risk score was proven to be an independent prognostic factor for overall survival in ICI therapy by multivariate Cox regression analysis. Functional and immune infiltration analysis demonstrated that lower risk scores tended to associate with immunologically "hot" status in RCC. Conclusions: Our 10-gene mutation classifier was found to be a biomarker for predicting the overall survival of patients with advanced RCC to ICI therapy.
