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

EPB41L1-5 is known to maintain cell morphology and signal transduction, with evidence suggesting it can inhibit tumor progression. However, its role in kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) is not fully understood. This study evaluated EPB41L1-5's prognostic value in KIRC using bioinformatics methods and validation through qPCR, immunohistochemistry, and cell functional experiments. The results demonstrated a decreased expression of EPB41L in KIRC tissue compared to normal renal tissue, correlating with lower survival rates. Low EPB41L expression was also associated with overall survival in KIRC. Additionally, EPB41L was found to be involved in extracellular matrix regulation, G protein-coupled receptor ligand binding, and multiple immune cell infiltrations. In addition, their elevated methylation levels are associated with poor prognosis in KIRC patients. Overall, EPB41L family is a potential molecular marker for predicting KIRC prognosis, offering insights for therapeutic development.
