Multi-omics analysis of zinc finger protein 683 as a prognostic biomarker for immune infiltration in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.
Article in BMC cancer, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThe abnormal expression of Zinc Finger Protein 683 (ZNF683) has been implicated in various cancers, yet its role in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains underexplored. Understanding the prognostic significance of ZNF683 and its correlation with tumor-infiltrating immune cells in ccRCC could offer insights into its potential as a therapeutic target.
methodsWe assessed the expression of ZNF683, its correlation with clinical pathological variables, and clinical outcomes using databases such as The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Tumor Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER), UALCAN, Gene Expression Profiling Interaction Analysis (GEPIA), and Kaplan-Meier (KM) plotter. Additionally, quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to evaluate ZNF683 transcriptional expression in renal cancer tissues. A comprehensive analysis of multiple databases, including TIMER, GEPIA, TISIDB, the ESTIMATE algorithm, and the CIBERSORT algorithm, was conducted to determine the correlation between ZNF683 and tumor-infiltrating immune cells in ccRCC.
resultsOur analysis revealed that ZNF683 mRNA levels were significantly elevated in ccRCC tissues compared to normal tissues. ZNF683 protein was highly expressed in cancer tissues, particularly in renal tumor cells, as indicated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA). Notably, increased ZNF683 expression was significantly associated with the infiltration of CD8 + T cells, B cells, macrophages, Treg cells, NK cells, and dendritic cells in ccRCC. Bioinformatics analyses demonstrated a strong correlation between ZNF683 expression and several immune checkpoints, including PD-1. This association suggests that ZNF683 might impact the efficacy of immunotherapy in ccRCC. Patients with high ZNF683 expression exhibited reduced sensitivity to immunotherapy.
conclusionsOur study identifies ZNF683 as a significant prognostic biomarker in ccRCC and highlights its correlation with immune cell infiltration. These findings suggest that ZNF683 could play a crucial role in ccRCC progression and response to immunotherapy, warranting further investigation into its potential as a therapeutic target.
