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

backgroundXp11.2 translocation renal cell carcinoma (Xp11.2 tRCC) is a very rare and aggressiveness malignancy with poor outcome. Previous studies suggested that programmed cell death protein-1 ligand 1 (PDL1) was characterized with high mRNA and low protein in Xp11.2 tRCC, however, the potential mechanism is still blurry.

methodsImmunohistochemistry was conducted to verify Cyclin D1 and PDL1 expression in Xp11.2 tRCC. ChIP and dual-luciferase reporter gene assay were applied to evaluate transcriptional-regulation of TFE3 fusion proteins on CCND1/Cyclin D1 and NR1D1, we used RNA-seq to detect the regulation role of NR1D1 on CCND1/Cyclin D1, half-life experiment and autophagy flux were employed to demonstrate Cyclin D1-CDK4 speeded PDL1 degradation.

resultsHere, we demonstrated that CCND1/Cyclin D1 was not only a direct target gene for positive regulation of TFE3 fusion proteins, but also up-regulated by nuclear receptor subfamily 1 group D member 1 (NR1D1) which was positively transcriptional regulation of TFE3 fusion proteins. Besides, TFE3 fusion proteins reduced the degradation of Cyclin D1 by activating the AKT/mTOR pathway. As a result, the high-expression of CCND1/Cyclin D1 mediated degradation of PDL1 protein through ubiquitin-proteasome system and autophagy pathway.

conclusionThis research found that CCND1/Cyclin D1 was upregulated in Xp11.2 tRCC through three mechanisms, high-expression CCND1/Cyclin D1 inducing PDL1 degradation. Overall, the study provided a theoretical basis for sequentially using CDK4 inhibitors and anti-PDL1 for Xp11.2 tRCC treatment. CLINICAL TRIAL NUMBER: Not applicable.
