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
Metastasis remains a significant challenge in the management of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), and a continued focus on its underlying mechanisms is crucial for improving patient outcomes and optimizing clinical therapies. The ovarian-tumor related protease (OTU) is involved in regulating critical cell signaling pathways, but the functions of most OTUs have yet to be explored. In this study, an unbiased RNAi screening revealed that ovarian tumor domain-containing 2 (YOD1) knockdown significantly promoted cell metastasis. YOD1 downregulation promoted ccRCC growth and metastasis both in vitro and in vivo. Notably, YOD1 knockdown stimulated the growth of organoids derived from ccRCC patients. Further investigation revealed that YOD1 directly interacted with and stabilized Zinc finger protein 24 (ZNF24) expression by deubiquitination in a manner dependent on its catalytic activity. YOD1 inhibition attenuated ZNF24 transcriptional repression of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA), thereby promoting VEGFA gene expression. Furthermore, ZNF24 was identified as a key mediator of YOD1 function. The expression of YOD1 and ZNF24 was significantly downregulated in tumor tissues, with a strong correlation between them. Importantly, reduced YOD1 and ZNF24 levels were strongly associated with poor clinical outcomes in ccRCC patients. Our results reveal the mechanism by which YOD1 regulates VEGFA transcription and suppresses tumorigenesis by deubiquitinating ZNF24, providing a therapeutic target in ccRCC.
