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: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a malignant disease containing tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are present in the tumor microenvironment and are strongly associated with cancer development. Nevertheless, the role of ROS-related genes in ccRCC remains unclear. Methods: We describe the expression patterns of ROS-related genes in ccRCC from The Cancer Genome Atlas and their alterations in genetics and transcription. An ROS-related gene signature was constructed and verified in three datasets and immunohistochemical staining (IHC) analysis. The immune characteristics of the two risk groups divided by the signature were clarified. The sensitivity to immunotherapy and targeted therapy was investigated. Results: Our signature was constructed on the basis of glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (GCLM), interaction protein for cytohesin exchange factors 1 (ICEF1), methionine sulfoxide reductase A (MsrA), and strawberry notch homolog 2 (SBNO2) genes. More importantly, protein expression levels of GCLM, MsrA, and SBNO2 were detected by IHC in our own ccRCC samples. The high-risk group of patients with ccRCC suffered lower overall survival rates. As an independent predictor of prognosis, our signature exhibited a strong association with clinicopathological features. An accurate nomogram for improving the clinical applicability of our signature was constructed. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analyses showed that the signature was closely related to immune response, immune activation, and immune pathways. The comprehensive results revealed that the high-risk group was associated with high infiltration of regulatory T cells and CD8+ T cells and more benefited from targeted therapy. In addition, immunotherapy had better therapeutic effects in the high-risk group. Conclusion: Our signature paved the way for assessing prognosis and developing more effective strategies of immunotherapy and targeted therapy in ccRCC.
