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

Cuproptosis, a recently identified form of cell death, is closely linked to glycolysis; however, the mechanistic interplay between these processes in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains to be fully elucidated. Utilizing data from the TCGA and CPTAC databases, we developed and validated a cuproptosis-glycolysis-related gene (CuG) scoring model to investigate its associations with clinical outcomes, tumor immune infiltration, immunotherapy response, and drug sensitivity. Our analysis established a robust 10-gene risk model with significant prognostic value that effectively stratifies ccRCC patients into distinct high- and low-risk groups exhibiting marked differences in clinical profiles and therapeutic responses. Through integrated bioinformatic analyses alongside in vitro and in vivo experimental validation, we identified AURKA as a key functional regulator within this signature. Beyond promoting tumor cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, AURKA may have a significant role in modulating antitumor immunity. Collectively, by establishing a clinically applicable prognostic scoring system and nominating AURKA as a potential therapeutic target, our study offers translational implications for treatment decision-making in ccRCC.
