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

The aggressiveness of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (KIRC) plays a crucial role in patient prognosis. This study investigated the role of COL1A1 in KIRC progression and its underlying molecular mechanisms through bioinformatics analysis, in vitro experiments, and xenograft mouse models. COL1A1 expression was significantly upregulated in KIRC and correlated with poor patient outcomes. Knockdown of COL1A1 inhibited tumor cell proliferation, migration, and invasion in both in vitro and xenograft models, as well as suppression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Knockdown of COL1A1 also significantly reduced the protein levels of the stemness markers OCT4 and SOX2 in KIRC cells. Additionally, COL1A1 inhibition impaired activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. These findings underscore the pivotal role of the COL1A1/PI3K/Akt axis in KIRC progression and suggest potential therapeutic strategies targeting this pathway.
