An integrated bioinformatic investigation of kallikrein gene family members in kidney renel cell carcinoma.
Article in PloS one, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
backgroundsKLKs have been proved to be key regulators of the tumor microenvironment. In this study, we explored the potential of Kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs) as clinical diagnostic and prognostic markers in patients with kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC) as well as their relationship with common immuno-inhibitor and immune cell infiltration in the tumor microenvironment to provide new targets and novel ideas for KIRC therapy.
methodsOncomine, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis (GEPIA), UCSC Xena, Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx), Kaplan-Meier plotter, cBioPortal, STRING, GeneMANIA, and TISIDB were used to analyze the differential expression, prognostic value, gene changes, molecular interaction, and immune infiltration of KLKs in patients with KIRC.
resultsFrom the gene expression level, it can be determined that KLK1, KLK6, and KLK7 are differentially expressed in KIRC and normal tissues. From the perspective of clinical prognosis, KLK1, KLK13, and KLK14 are highly correlated with the clinical prognosis of KIRC. The expression of KLKs is regulated by various immunosuppressive agents, with KDR, PVRL2, and VTCN1 being the most significant. The expression of KLKs is significantly correlated with the infiltration of various immune cells, of which Eosinophils and Neutrophils are the most significant.
conclusionsKLK1, KLK6, KLK7, KLK13, and KLK14 have potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, among which KLK1 is the most significant. This study may provide detailed immune information and promising targets for KIRC immunotherapy to assist in designing new immunotherapies.
