Overexpression of PLCG2 and TMEM38A inhibit tumor progression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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 is a prevalent urological malignancy, imposing substantial burdens on both patients and society. In our study, we used bioinformatics methods to select four putative target genes associated with EMT and prognosis and developed a nomogram model which could accurately predicting 5-year patient survival rates. We further analyzed proteome and single-cell data and selected PLCG2 and TMEM38A for the following experiments. Overexpression models of PLCG2 and TMEM38A were generated in Caki-1 and 786-O cell lines using plasmids. The in vitro experiments demonstrated that both of them exerted pro-apoptotic effects on Caki-1 and 786-O cells, inducing G2/M phase arrest, inhibiting proliferation, and suppressing EMT. In summary, we identified potential tumor suppressor factors and stratified ccRCC patients into high-risk and low-risk groups based on these factors. Furthermore, we elucidated the impact of PLCG2 and TMEM38A in Caki-1 and 786-O cell lines, offering novel avenues for therapeutic target exploration.
