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

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common subtype of renal cell carcinoma, characterized by dysregulated lipid metabolism and therapy resistance, leading to a poorer prognosis than other subtypes. This study investigates the role of the immune checkpoint molecule CD276 in lipid metabolic reprogramming and the regulation of ferroptosis in ccRCC. Clinical sample analysis, in vitro experiments, and animal models revealed that CD276 is significantly overexpressed in ccRCC and positively correlated with an unfavorable prognosis. Mechanistically, CD276 activates the transcription factor sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1), upregulates the expression of fatty acid synthase (FASN), promotes de novo fatty acid synthesis, and drives lipid accumulation. Concurrently, CD276-mediated lipid metabolic reprogramming suppresses ferroptosis in ccRCC cells by increasing reduced glutathione levels and enhancing glutathione peroxidase 4 activity. In vivo experiments confirmed that inhibiting CD276 significantly suppresses tumor growth and enhances the efficacy of ferroptosis inducers. This study reveals the pivotal role of the CD276-SREBP1-FASN axis in regulating lipid metabolism and ferroptosis in ccRCC, providing a theoretical basis for CD276-targeted therapy combined with ferroptosis induction as a treatment strategy for ccRCC.
