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

Background: Ferroptosis and disulfidptosis, two programmed cell death pathways, critically drive tumor growth by affecting metastasis. Although the prognostic value of disulfidptosis and ferroptosis had been separately validated in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), prognostic effect of integrating two programmed death genes remains unclear in KIRC. Our objective is to establish an innovative prognostic model for KIRC. Methods: We sourced KIRC patients' information that contains clinical and genomic from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. We selected disulfidptosis-related and ferroptosis-related genes (DRFs) to construct a prognostic model. By combining clinical features and prognostic models, we developed the nomogram. Additionally, the mechanism of DRF was explored in KIRC, including tumor immune dysfunction and exclusion (TIDE), Kaplan-Meier (K-M) analysis, tumor microenvironment (TME) analysis, and more. Drug sensitivity analysis shows which drugs are sensitive to tumors. Experiment with RT-PCR to confirm DRFs gene expression in the cell line. Results: Constructing risk score with five DRFs, all tumor samples were categorized into high-risk group (HG) and low-risk group (LG). The HG samples demonstrated lower survival rates according to K-M survival curves. The nomogram with risk score demonstrated significant predictive value than nomogram without the risk score. TME analysis indicated that the proportion of T cells follicular helper and Tregs was higher in HG, while Macrophages M1 and Mast cells resting were higher in LG. GSEA analysis demonstrated Retinol metabolism pathway, drug metabolism other enzymes pathway, etc. were enriched in HG, while endocytosis-related pathway, neurotrophin signaling pathway, etc. were enriched in LG. TIDE analysis showed tumors in HG are more prone to immune evasion. The drug sensitivity analysis indicated that the HG is sensitive to antitumor drugs such as Cedrane and Osimertinib, while the LG is sensitive to antitumor drugs such as 5-Fluorouracil and Entinostat. RT-qPCR have confirmed expression of DRFs in KIRC cell lines. Conclusions: Our DRFs-based prognostic model and nomogram effectively predict survival and guide treatment decisions.
