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: Immunotherapy shows promise in treating cancer by leveraging the immune system to combat cancer cells. However, the influence of crotonylation metabolism on the prognosis and tumor environment in ccRCC patients is not fully understood. Methods: We conducted various systematic analyses, including prognosis and cluster analyses, to investigate the role of KAT2A in immunotherapy. We used qRT-PCR to compare KAT2A expression in cancer and adjacent tissues and among different cell lines. Additionally, we employed Cell Counting Kit-8, wound healing, and Transwell chamber assays to assess changes in the proliferative and metastatic ability of A498 and 786-O cells. Results: We identified three clusters related to crotonylation metabolism, each with distinct prognosis and immune characteristics in ccRCC. We categorized CT1 as immune-inflamed, CT2 as immune-excluded, and CR3 as immune-desert. A new system, CRS, emerged as an effective predictor of patient outcomes with differing immune characteristics. Moreover, qRT-PCR revealed elevated KAT2A levels in ccRCC tissues and cell lines. KAT2A was found to promote ccRCC and correlate significantly with immunosuppressive elements and checkpoints. Reducing KAT2A expression hindered ccRCC cell growth and metastasis. Conclusion: Our study highlights the critical role of crotonylation metabolism in cancer development and progression, particularly its link to poor prognosis. CRS proves to be an accurate predictor of patient outcomes and immune features in ccRCC. KAT2A shows strong associations with clinical factors and the immunosuppressive environment, suggesting potential for innovative immunotherapies in ccRCC treatment.
