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

backgroundProgress in the diagnosis and treatment of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) has significantly prolonged patient survival. However, ccRCC displays an extreme heterogenous characteristic and metastatic tendency, which limit the benefit of targeted or immune therapy. Thus, identifying novel biomarkers and therapeutic targets for ccRCC is of great importance.

methodPan cancer datasets, including the expression profile, DNA methylation, copy number variation, and single nucleic variation, were introduced to decode the aberrance of copper death regulators (CDRs). Then, FDX1 was systematically analyzed in ccRCC to evaluate its impact on clinical characteristics, prognosis, biological function, immune infiltration, and therapy response. Finally, in vivo experiments were utilized to decipher FDX1 in ccRCC malignancy and its role in tumor immunity.

resultCopper death regulators were identified at the pancancer level, especially in ccRCC. FDX1 played a protective role in ccRCC, and its expression level was significantly decreased in tumor tissues, which might be regulated via CNV events. At the molecular mechanism level, FDX1 positively regulated fatty acid metabolism and oxidative phosphorylation. In addition, FDX1 overexpression restrained ccRCC cell line malignancy and enhanced tumor immunity by increasing the secretion levels of IL2 and TNFγ.

conclusionsOur research illustrated the role of FDX1 in ccRCC patients' clinical outcomes and its impact on tumor immunity, which could be treated as a promising target for ccRCC patients.
