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

backgroundRegulatory T cells (Tregs) play a critical role in shaping the immunosuppressive microenvironment within tumors. Investigating the role of Tregs in Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is crucial for identifying prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for ccRCC.

methodsWeighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was utilized to pinpoint modules related to Treg infiltration in TCGA-KIRC samples. Following this, consensus clustering was employed to derive two clusters associated with Treg infiltration in ccRCC. A prognostic model was then developed using the gene module associated with Treg infiltration. We then evaluated the ability of the prognostic model to predict ccRCC overall survival and demonstrated that RCN1 can be used as a target to predict ccRCC prognosis.

resultsWe deduce that the two clusters associated with Treg infiltration exhibit distinct compositions of the immune microenvironment, pathway activations, prognosis, and drug sensitivities commonly utilized in ccRCC treatment. Furthermore, a 7-gene model risk score, developed based on ccRCC Treg infiltration, proved to be a reliable prognostic marker in both training and validation cohorts. Additionally, survival analysis indicated that RCN1 serves as a reliable prognostic factor for ccRCC. Single-cell sequencing analysis revealed that RCN1 is predominantly expressed in tumor cells. A pan-cancer analysis highlighted that RCN1 is linked with poor prognosis and the activation of inflammatory response pathways across various cancers.

conclusionWe developed a prognostic model associated with Treg infiltration, which facilitates the clinical categorization of ccRCC progression. Moreover, our findings underscore the significant potential of RCN1 as a ccRCC biomarker.
