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

Renal cell carcinoma is characterized by a poor prognosis. Recently, renal cell carcinoma has been recognized as a metabolic disease associated with fatty acid metabolic reprogramming, although in-depth studies on this topic are still lacking. We found that fatty acid metabolism reprogramming in renal cell carcinoma is primarily characterized by high expression of FABP1. FABP1 + tumors significantly impact survival and display distinct differentiation trajectories compared to other tumor subclusters. They show elevated expression of angiogenesis and cell migration signals, with PLG-PLAT-mediated interactions with endothelial cells notably enhanced. Spatial transcriptomics show a prominent co-localization of FABP1 + tumors with endothelial cells, and their spatial distribution closely aligns with that of PLAT + endothelial cells. FABP1 + tumors exhibit a unique pattern in spatial transcriptomics, enriched in Extracellular Matrix and angiogenesis-related pathways. Through receptor-ligand interaction analysis, a novel PLG-PLAT functional axis was found between tumor epithelial cells and endothelial cells. Based on results of experiments, we infer that FABP1 + tumors can promote plasmin-related tumor angiogenesis by triggering the PLG-PLAT signaling axis. Finally, utilizing preclinical models, we suggest that targeting the FABP1-PLG-PLAT axis may serve as promising strategy enhancing the sensitivity of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor therapy.
