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

Background: Many factors affect the prognosis of kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC). Early diagnosis can significantly improve the prognosis of KIRC patients. Therefore, a method needs to be developed to diagnose KIRC early, predict patient prognosis, and improve personalized treatments. The objective of this study is to utilize bioinformatics tools and public database resources to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between renal cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues, and to further screen for prognostic-related genes (PRGs) of KIRC. Methods: KIRC was studied using R language and FunRich software and several databases, including the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), the University of Alabama at Birmingham cancer data analysis Portal (UALCAN), and Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) databases. Moreover, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to validate the expression of multiple genes in KIRC and adjacent normal tissues. Results: There were substantial differences in immune cell infiltration between the KIRC and adjacent normal tissues in the GSE40435 and GSE46699 datasets. In addition, we screened multiple PRGs of KIRC by combining the GEO and TCGA data. The UALCAN database verified that some representative PRGs were differently expressed depending on the lymph node metastasis status, grade, and stage of KIRC. The qRT-PCR results confirmed the expression of the PRGs in KIRC and adjacent normal tissues. Through the GO and KEGG analyses, interaction analysis, and TIMER database, we found that the prognosis of KIRC was closely related to immune microenvironment and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/VEGF receptor (VEGFR) signaling. Conclusions: Our findings could contribute to the prognosis prediction of KIRC, the selection of personalized treatments, and the early diagnosis of KIRC.
