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

POLE2 exhibits oncogenic properties. This study aimed to clarify its effects and underlying mechanisms in renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Using bioinformatics analyses, we predicted the relationship between POLE2 and autophagy, epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT), and the AKT/mTOR pathway. The expression pattern of POLE2 was further verified in the clinical cohort comprising 94 tumor samples from patients with RCC. Following, we constructed in vivo and in vitro models to further investigate the potential mechanisms of POLE2 using a series of molecular biology approaches. The results showed that GINS1 was the downstream target of POLE2, and its overexpression reversed the inhibitory effects of POLE2 knockdown on RCC proliferation, metastasis, and EMT, while restoring the autophagy suppression. Furthermore, POLE2/GINS1 inhibited AKT/mTOR-mediated autophagy, thereby promoting EMT and lung metastasis of RCC. These findings provide a more comprehensive perspective on the genetic function of POLE2 in RCC progression.
