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

This study aims to explore the relationship between radiological imaging and genomic characteristics in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), focusing on the expression of adipose differentiation-related protein (ADFP) detected through computed tomography (CT). The goal is to establish a radiogenomic lipid profile and understand its association with tumor characteristics. Data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Cancer Imaging Archive (TCIA) were utilized to correlate imaging features with adipose differentiation-related protein (ADFP) expression in ccRCC. CT scans assessed various tumor features, including size, composition, margin, necrosis, and growth pattern, alongside measurements of tumoral Hounsfield units (HU) and abdominal adipose tissue compartments. Statistical analyses compared demographics, clinical-pathological features, adipose tissue quantification, and tumoral HU between groups. Among 197 patients, 22.8% exhibited ADFP expression significantly associated with hydronephrosis. Low-grade ccRCC patients expressing ADFP had higher quantities of visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue and lower tumoral HU values compared to their high-grade counterparts. Similar trends were observed in low-grade ccRCC patients without ADFP expression. ADFP expression in ccRCC correlates with specific imaging features such as hydronephrosis and altered adipose tissue distribution. Low-grade ccRCC patients with ADFP expression display a distinct lipid metabolic profile, emphasizing the relationship between radiological features, genomic expression, and tumor metabolism. These findings suggest potential for personalized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies targeting tumor lipid metabolism.
