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: Mitochondria play an important role in tumors. Cellular energy supply, signaling, metabolism, autophagy, aging, and tumorigenesis are all associated with mitochondria. However, we lack a reliable prognostic model using mitochondrial-related genes in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Methods: A systematic analysis of available TCGA databases and related studies was conducted using the R language and online analysis tools to evaluate the prognostic value of mitochondrial-related genes and the tumor microenvironment in ccRCC. Results: We constructed a novel mitochondrial-related gene signature for predicting survival and evaluating the tumor immune microenvironment in ccRCC. The mitochondrial-related gene signature included MICALL2, FKBP10, and ACADSB. According to the risk score of the risk model, ccRCC patients were divided into high- or low-risk groups. The ccRCC high-risk group with a high-risk score is related to poor prognosis and poor efficacy from immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Conclusion: Our mitochondrial-related gene signature, as a risk model, could be a reliable ccRCC prognostic biomarker and could predict the response to immunotherapy. The risk score was correlated with the tumor microenvironment and immune cell infiltration.
