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

backgroundDespite the rapid advances in modern medical technology, kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) remains a challenging clinical problem in urology. Researchers urgently search for useful markers to break through the therapeutic conundrum due to its high lethality. Therefore, the study explores the value of ADH5 on overall survival (OS) and the immunology of KIRC.

methodsThe gene expression matrix and clinical information on ADH5 in the TCGA database were validated using external databases and qRT-PCR. To confirm the correlation between ADH5 and KIRC prognosis, univariate/multivariate Cox regression analysis was used. We also explored the signaling pathways associated with ADH5 in KIRC and investigated its association with immunity.

resultsThe mRNA and protein levels showed an apparent downregulation of ADH5 in KIRC. Correlation analysis revealed that ADH5 was directly related to histological grade, clinical stage, and TMN stage (p < 0.05). Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis identified ADH5 as an independent factor affecting the prognosis of KIRC. Enrichment analysis looked into five ADH5-related signaling pathways. The results showed no correlation between ADH5 and TMB, TNB, and MSI. From an immunological perspective, ADH5 was found to be associated with the tumor microenvironment, immune cell infiltration, and immune checkpoints. Lower ADH5 expression was associated with greater responsiveness to immunotherapy. Single-cell sequencing revealed that ADH5 is highly expressed in immune cells.

conclusionADH5 could be a promising prognostic biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for KIRC. Besides, it was found that KIRC patients with low ADH5 expression were more sensitive to immunotherapy.
