REEP4 as Potential Biomarker Associated with Predictive Prognosis and Immune Response in Kidney Clear Cell Carcinoma.

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.
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
Kidney clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) commonly presents with metastases upon diagnosis, highlighting the critical need to identify more precise biomarkers for early detection, intervention, and personalized treatment. Although The REEP family has been investigated in cancer development, the specific relationship between REEP4 and cancer remains unclear. In our study, we employed bioinformatics analysis and conducted fundamental experiments to evaluate the potential of REEP4 as a biomarker for predicting the prognosis and therapeutic efficacy of KIRC. Comparing KIRC tumor tissues to normal tissues, we observed a significant upregulation in REEP4 expression, with higher levels of REEP4 correlating positively with tumor malignancy. Further COX regression analysis, as well as single and multifactorial analyses, confirmed that high REEP4 expression indicated lower survival rates in KIRC. Gene function analysis also identified associations between REEP4 and critical pathways such as the cell cycle, along with its involvement in protein binding. Furthermore, our investigation of the immune response suggests that a favorable immunotherapeutic response is linked to a reduction in REEP4 expression. Subsequently, we conducted in
