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

purposeCurrently, there is an urgent need for prognostic prediction models for renal clear cell carcinoma (ccRCC). This study aims to establish a prognostic prediction model based on differential genes associated with TNM staging and validate it through both in vitro and in vivo experiments.

methodThrough the cross-analysis of the differential genes between T1-2 and T3-4 stages, N1 and N2 stages, as well as M0 and M1 stages in ccRCC, a nomogram prognostic model was constructed using multivariate COX regression analysis. Finally, the function of human serum amyloid A2 (SAA2) was verified through in vivo and in vitro experiments.

resultThrough cross-analysis of the differential genes between T1-2 and T3-4 stages, N1 and N2 stages, as well as M0 and M1 stages, 67 genes were identified. Through multivariate COX regression analysis, examination of expression differences between cancerous and normal tissues, and assessment of their impact on prognosis, we have derived a nomogram prognostic prediction model composed of ITPKA, PDIA2, SAA2, SHOX2, TREML3P, and ZIC2. Furthermore, through Transwell migration and invasion assays, EdU proliferation assays, and in vivo experiments, we validated that SAA2 promotes the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ccRCC.

conclusionThe nomogram prognostic prediction model, consisting of ITPKA, PDIA2, SAA2, SHOX2, TREML3P, and ZIC2, is capable of predicting the prognosis of ccRCC patients. Among them, SAA2 promotes the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ccRCC cells.
