Urothelial carcinoma of the bladder in patients aged 30 years or younger: clinicopathological analysis and expression of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) of 45 cases.

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.
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
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the clinicopathological features, prognostic outcomes and fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) protein expression status of a large series (n = 45) of urothelial carcinoma of bladder patients aged 30 or younger, retrospectively. We identified an age gradient (an age of 25, 26 and 27 years), classified patients as ≤ 25 or >25, ≤ 26 or >26, ≤ 27 or >27 years, respectively, and compared variables including recurrence events and FGFR3 expression patterns between different groups. Patients aged 25 years or younger were less likely to experience tumor recurrence (p = 0.046), were more likely to develop smaller size tumors (p = 0.040) and expressed more proportion of negative pattern of FGFR3 protein (p = 0.036). Patients aged 25 years or younger were less likely to develop tumor recurrence and revealed more proportion of negative pattern of FGFR3 expression than those aged 26-30 years did. We identified patients aged 25 years or younger as the true "young" urothelial carcinoma patients, carrying distinct clinical outcomes and molecular tumorigenesis.
