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

Axitinib resistance remains a serious challenge in the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we constructed an in vivo axitinib-resistant RCC model and identified the long non-coding RNA STX17-DT as a driver of therapy resistance in RCC. The expression of STX17-DT was significantly elevated in axitinib-resistant RCC cells and correlated with poorer prognosis in RCC patients. Elevated levels of STX17-DT contributed to the development of resistance to axitinib both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, STX17-DT modulated the stability of IFI6 mRNA by recruiting and binding to hnRNPA1, leading to decreased accumulation of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) and attenuated ferroptosis. Meanwhile, STX17-DT was packaged into extracellular vesicles through hnRNPA1, thus transmitting axitinib resistance to other cells. Compared with axitinib monotherapy, combined treatment of axitinib and STX17-DT-targeted in vivo siRNA demonstrated enhanced therapeutic efficacy. These findings indicate a novel molecular mechanism of axitinib resistance in RCC and suggest that STX17-DT may serve as a prognostic indicator and potential therapeutic target to overcome resistance to targeted therapy.
