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

Cellular senescence, an inevitable phase in the cellular lifecycle, is increasingly implicated in cancer development. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), a lethal malignancy of the urinary system, underscores the need for senescence-based risk models. Through single-cell analysis, we identified senescent cells within ccRCC tumors and delineated their distinct biological features. We then integrated ten machine learning algorithms-plsRcox, Ridge, Enet, CoxBoost, Lasso, StepCox, RSF, SuperPC, GBM, and survivalSVM-generating 101 combinatorial models via pairwise integration. The optimal Lasso-StepCox model was selected based on the highest mean concordance index (C-index), yielding a minimized senescence-related gene signature of only 9 genes (significantly below the typical 15-30-gene range). This signature formed the basis of a senescence-related scoring model (SRSM) for ccRCC patient survival assessment. Patients with high SRSM exhibited significantly poorer survival (P < 0.001), enhanced oxidative phosphorylation, and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) characterized by elevated regulatory T cell (Treg) infiltration.
