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

introductionPrevious literature has shown that clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is becoming a more prevalent diagnosis and that the incidence and mortality differ both regionally and racially. While the molecular profiles for ccRCC are studied regionally through biopsy and sequencing techniques, the genomic landscape and ccRCC diversity data are not well studied. We conducted a review of the known genomic data on 6 of the most clinically relevant DNA biomarkers in ccRCC: von Hippel-Lindau (vHL), Polybromo-1 (PBRM1), Breast Cancer Gene 1-Associated Protein 1 (BAP1), Histone-Lysine N-Methyltransferase Domain-Containing 2 (SETD2), Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR), and Lysine-Specific Demethylase 5C (KDM5C). The review compiled genomic diversity data, incidence, and risk factor differences by geographical and racial cohorts.

methodsThe review methodology was created using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) principles from articles on PubMed and Embase through July 31, 2023, written and published in English, with diagnoses of primary or metastatic ccRCC via cytology or pathology, recorded the incidence of one or more of the 6 biomarkers, explored gene aberration via sequencing, were epidemiological in nature, and/or discussed basic science research, cohort studies, or retrospective studies.

resultsAberrations in vHL, PBRM1, and SETD2 driving ccRCC are studied frequently, but the data are heterogeneous, whereas there is a paucity in the data regarding KDM5C, PBRM1, and mTOR mutations.

conclusionStudying the genetic aberrations that frequently occur in different regions gives insight into what current research lacks. When more genomic landscape research arises, precision therapy, risk calculators, and artificial intelligence may help better prognosticate and individualize treatment for those at risk for ccRCC. Provided the scarcity of existing data, and the rising prevalence of ccRCC, more studies must be conducted at the clinical level.
