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

backgroundClear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common type of RCC. Even though the targeted drugs for the treatment of ccRCC have a certain therapeutic effect, due to the problem of drug resistance, the search for new targets for targeted therapy of ccRCC remains urgent. GAMT is an enzyme involved in creatine metabolism. However, the precise biological roles and molecular mechanisms of GAMT in ccRCC are not fully understood.

resultsHere, we found that GAMT was upregulated in ccRCC cells and tissues and associated with poor prognosis. Further, GAMT has pro-oncogenic abilities in promoting ccRCC development and progression. Intriguingly, GAMT exerted biological functions independent of its role in catalyzing creatine synthesis. Mechanistically, GAMT overexpression contributes to the development and progression of ccRCC by inhibiting tumor suppressor p53. Finally, we identified fisetin as a novel GAMT inhibitor and validated its role in suppressing ccRCC progression and sensitizing ccRCC cells to targeted drug axitinib via in vivo and in vitro assays.

conclusionsThis study reveals that GAMT has pro-oncogenic abilities in promoting ccRCC development and progression. GAMT exerted its non-enzymatic functions possibly by regulating the expression of p53. Fisetin, the novel GAMT inhibitor identified herein, may serve as a new antitumor drug for ccRCC treatment.
