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

B23, a multifunctional nucleolar protein, is overexpressed in numerous cancers and is associated with tumorigenesis. However, the clinical significance and potential role of B23 in bladder urothelial carcinoma remains to be elucidated. The present study observed that the mRNA and protein expression levels of B23 were increased in bladder cancer cells and tissues. The overexpression of B23 contributed to tumorigenesis and was associated with poor prognosis in bladder cancer patients. Silencing of B23 by short hairpin RNA inhibited tumor cell growth and colony formation. In addition, knockdown of B23 suppressed the phosphorylation of extracellular signal‑regulated kinase (ERK), resulting in the inactivation of the ERK signaling pathway. Therefore, the present study indicated that B23 promotes bladder cancer cell growth via activation of the ERK signaling pathway and is a novel potential biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of bladder cancer.
