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

backgroundImmune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy has demonstrated significant clinical potential in a variety of cancers; however, its efficacy in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) remains suboptimal. In ccRCC, an increased infiltration of CD8

methodsTripartite motif-containing 28 (TRIM28) was identified as a potential therapeutic target through single-cell transcriptomics (GSE159115) and Geneformer-based perturbation screening. Functional validation was performed by constructing shTRIM28 and overexpression cell models to assess tumor proliferation, CD8

resultsWe identified TRIM28 as a central regulator of immune evasion in ccRCC. Using high-throughput gene knockout screening, we demonstrated that TRIM28 depletion reprograms malignant epithelial cells toward a less aggressive phenotype and significantly enhances tumor cell susceptibility to cytotoxic T lymphocyte killing. Mechanistically, TRIM28 promotes immune resistance through dual immunometabolic mechanisms: first, by stabilizing PARP1 and promoting its SUMOylation, which in turn amplifies PD-L1 expression via NAD

conclusionsThis study reveals that TRIM28 is a key regulator of PD-L1 expression and T cell dysfunction in ccRCC through PARP1 stabilization and NAD
