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

A macroscopic perspective is indispensable for understanding the intricate relationship between deubiquitinases and tumorigenesis. Proteomics has been proposed as a viable approach for elucidating the complex role of deubiquitylation in cellular progression. Instead of studying the function of a single ubiquitinase, research on a deubiquitinase family with similar catalytic core(s) may provide a new perspective for the pathological understanding of cancer. The Ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L (UCHL) family consists of four members: UCHL1, UCHL3, UCHL5, and BRAC1 associated protein-1 (BAP1), and they have been implicated in tumorigenesis and metastasis. Some members are considered hallmarks of intracranial lesions, colon cancer, chromatin remodeling, and histone stability. The present study uncovered an unknown correlation between the UCHL family and renal cancer. We discovered that UCHLs exhibit diverse regulatory effects in renal cancer, establishing connections between the renal cancer and truncated gene mutations, mitochondrial energetic metastasis, immune cell infiltration, and chromosomal stability of UCHLs family. Notably, we found that the increase of UCHL5 expression in renal cancer cells decreases the antigen processing and presentation of RCC tumor-infiltrating B cells. Further research identified that the expression of UCHL5 in RCC tumors is correlated with transport proteins, which led us to find that the abundance of UCHL5 in the blood of late-stage renal cell cancer patients is upregulated from 18 ng/L to 500 ng/L. Therefore, we propose that the abundance of UCHL5 in patients' blood can be a possible indicator of poor prognosis for renal cell cancer.
