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

backgroundClear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) frequently exhibits transcriptional reprogramming driven by oncogenic C-Myc. Fibrillarin (FBL), a nucleolar C-Myc target, is markedly upregulated in ccRCC, correlating with poor prognosis and essential for tumor cell survival.

methodsIntegrated single-cell RNA sequencing, bulk transcriptomics, and proteomics were used to identify FBL as a key target. Functional assays, immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry, and molecular docking were performed to investigate FBL's oncogenic mechanisms and interaction with TRIM21.

resultsFBL promotes ccRCC cell proliferation, migration, and tumor growth via PI3K/AKT pathway activation. TRIM21 was identified as a novel FBL-binding E3 ubiquitin ligase that catalyzes K48-linked polyubiquitination of FBL at lysine 292, accelerating its proteasomal degradation. TRIM21 overexpression reduces FBL levels, inhibits PI3K/AKT signaling, and reverses FBL-induced oncogenic phenotypes. TRIM21 is downregulated in ccRCC tissues and associated with unfavorable prognosis.

conclusionsThe TRIM21-FBL axis regulates ccRCC progression by modulating PI3K/AKT signaling, providing mechanistic insight and potential therapeutic targets for ribosome biogenesis and oncogenic signaling.
