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

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) represents the most frequent kidney malignancy and remains a major clinical challenge due to its often silent onset, high metastatic potential, and limited responsiveness to conventional chemotherapy. Increasing evidence indicates that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), including microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), are key regulators of RCC tumorigenesis, progression, and therapy resistance. Rather than providing a purely descriptive overview, this review focuses on emerging mechanistic paradigms through which ncRNAs actively shape tumor behavior and therapeutic response in RCC. This review summarizes current knowledge on the biological and clinical relevance of ncRNAs in RCC, highlighting their dual roles as oncogenic drivers or tumor suppressors through the modulation of pathways involved in proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, invasion, immune evasion, metabolic reprogramming, and ferroptosis. Particular emphasis is placed on mechanistically defined ncRNA regulatory axes controlling ferroptosis, autophagy, metabolic reprogramming, and immune escape, as well as on ncRNA-mediated intercellular communication via extracellular vesicles, which promotes the dissemination of resistance to targeted therapies. The review also addresses ncRNA-based diagnostic and prognostic applications, including miRNA signatures capable of discriminating RCC subtypes and circulating ncRNAs as minimally invasive biomarkers. Moreover, the manuscript discusses ncRNA-mediated mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies such as sunitinib, sorafenib, and axitinib, emphasizing regulatory networks involving miRNA targets, lncRNA-miRNA sponging, RNA-binding proteins, extracellular vesicle transfer, and epigenetic modulation. Emerging therapeutic opportunities are also addressed, including strategies aimed at inhibiting oncogenic ncRNAs or restoring tumor-suppressive ncRNAs to enhance drug sensitivity and improve patient stratification.
