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

Among all types of renal cancer, clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common and lethal subtype and is associated with a high risk of metastasis and recurrence. Histone modifications regulate several biological processes that are fundamental to the development of cancer. Lysine methyltransferase 5C (KMT5C; also known as SUV420H2) is an epigenetic modifier responsible for the trimethylation of H4K20, which drives critical cellular events, including genome integrity, cell growth and epithelial‑mesenchymal transition (EMT), in various types of cancer. However, the role of KMT5C in ccRCC remains unclear. As such, the expression and function of KMT5C in ccRCC were investigated in the present study. KMT5C expression was significantly increased in ccRCC tissues compared with normal tissues (P<0.0001), and it was closely associated with the overall survival rate of patients with ccRCC. By establishing ccRCC cell lines with KMT5C expression knockdown, the role of KMT5C in the maintenance of aerobic glycolysis in ccRCC cells via the regulation of several vital glycolytic genes was identified. Additionally, KMT5C promoted the proliferation and EMT of ccRCC cells by controlling crucial EMT transcriptional factors. Together, these data suggested that KMT5C may act as an oncoprotein, guide molecular diagnosis, and shed light on novel drug development and therapeutic strategies for patients with ccRCC.
