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

Treating renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is clinically challenging because the characteristic hypoxic microenvironment of RCC serves as a key driver of malignant progression. High-throughput sequencing analysis across multiple models was used in this study to identify PLOD3 as a major oncogene driving RCC development. PLOD3 promoted RCC cell growth and metastatic capacity in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, HIF-2α and histone lactylation modification jointly upregulate PLOD3 expression levels. PLOD3 specifically binds to the C2 domain of NEDD4, hindering NEDD4 autoinhibition and triggering NEDD4 to activate E3 ubiquitin ligase function. This process affects GOT2 expression via inducing K48-linked ubiquitination, leading to GOT2 degradation via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Thus, PLOD3 participates in reprogramming glutamine metabolism through influencing the stability GOT2 protein. This study establishes PLOD3 as a key oncogenic driver of RCC, with HIF-2α/PLOD3/NEDD4/GOT2 pathway potentially being a therapeutic target and providing biomarkers for treating RCC.
