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

This study was carried out to assess the efficacy of urinary hepatoma up-regulated protein (HURP) RNA in bladder cancer diagnosis and its relation to bilharziasis. Voided urine samples and blood were collected from 344 consecutive participants: 211 patients diagnosed with bladder cancer, 71 patients with benign urological disorders and 62 healthy volunteers. Serologic assessment of schistosomiasis antibody in sera, urine cytology and estimation of HURP RNA by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in urothelial cells was carried out in all samples. HURP RNA expression showed a significant difference among the three investigated groups. The best cutoff point for HURP RNA was determined as 0.0132 at 78.67 % sensitivity and 94 % specificity. The sensitivity of urine cytology was improved when combined with HURP RNA in detection of early stage (77.3 %), low grade (85.3 %) and bilharzial bladder cancer (78.1 %). Detection of urinary HURP RNA is a useful non-invasive test for early detection of bladder cancer and bilharzial bladder cancer and it improves sensitivity of urine cytology up to 91 %.
