Urinary transcript quantitation of CK20 and IGF2 for the non-invasive bladder cancer detection.
Trial report in Journal of cancer research and clinical oncology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
purposeCytokeratin 20 (CK20) and insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) were previously proposed to be elevated in clinical samples from patients with bladder cancer (BCa). A two cohort design validation study was used to assess the relevance for BCa detection by transcript quantitation of both markers in urine samples. Their diagnostic value was assessed in comparison with voided urine cytology (VUC).
methodsRNA isolation was carried out using cellular sediments of urine samples from 196/103 histologically positive BCa patients, as well as 97/50 control subjects for the test (TC) and validation cohort (VC), respectively. Urinary transcript levels of CK20 and IGF2 were determined by qPCR.
resultsRelative transcript levels were significantly elevated 3.4/11-fold for CK20 and 188/64-fold for IGF2 (p < 0.001) in urine sediments of BCa patients compared to controls in the TC and VC, respectively. In a combined analysis, the resulting sensitivity (SN) (SN
conclusionsTranscript levels of IGF2 and CK20 enabled the detection of BCa with a diagnostic performance similar to VUC. Combined analysis of voided urine cytology together with altered transcript levels of CK20 and IGF2 enhanced sensitivity, but did not improve overall test performance.
