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

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), a predominant form of urinary malignancy, requires the identification of reliable biomarkers to enhance both prognostic outcomes and therapeutic developments specific to ccRCC. NSUN5, a member of the NOL1/NOP2/SUN domain (NSUN) family, plays a critical role in RNA stabilization and exhibits widespread expression across various tumor types. However, the exact function of NSUN5 in ccRCC remains insufficiently understood. Data were collated from cohorts of ccRCC patients who underwent nephrectomy, including those from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC), to evaluate the clinical relevance of NSUN5. Integrative models based on NSUN5 expression were subsequently developed to predict the prognosis of ccRCC within the TCGA and SYSUCC cohorts. Furthermore, the impact of NSUN5 on RCC cells and its association with cellular senescence were corroborated through in vitro experimental analyses. NSUN5 exhibited elevated expression in both ccRCC patients and renal cancer cell lines, whose upregulation significantly correlated with age, tumor size, TNM stage, WHO/International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade, presence of necrosis, and a poor prognosis. An accessible nomogram, incorporating NSUN5 along with various clinicopathological parameters, was adept at predicting outcomes for ccRCC patients. Additionally, in vitro findings indicated that reduced expression of NSUN5 enhanced tumor cell senescence and simultaneously inhibiting cell proliferation and migration. These observations suggest that elevated NSUN5 expression is linked to poorer overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS), positioning NSUN5 as a viable diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in ccRCC.
