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) is the most common malignant tumor of kidney with high mortality. The pathogenesis of ccRCC is complicated and effective prognostic predictors for clinical practice are still limited. This study aimed to identify significant genes with prognostic influence in ccRCC via bioinformatics analysis.

methodsFour gene expression profiles were acquired from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, including 168 ccRCC tissues and 143 normal tissues. Common differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between ccRCC tissues and normal kidney tissues were screened out. Then gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were investigated. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of the common DEGs was diagrammed and analyzed. Kaplan-Meier analysis was conducted to identify genes with prognostic influence in ccRCC. Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA) was finally applied to validating differential expression of genes.

resultsNinety-nine common DEGs between ccRCC tissues and normal kidney tissues were eventually screened out (P<0.05, |log FC| >2). GO functional analysis showed that the down-regulated genes were enriched in excretion, negative regulation of cell proliferation, heparin binding and cellular response to BMP stimulus, etc. KEGG pathway analysis indicated that the common DEGs were particularly enriched in HIF-1 signaling pathway and aldosterone-regulated sodium reabsorption. Seven core DEGs were distinguished through PPI network analysis, of which 6 core genes
