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

Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) immunotherapy is the standard therapy for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. The aim of the present study was to identify genes that are induced in response to BCG immunotherapy, as these may be potential biomarkers for the response to clinical therapy. To model clinical therapy, human bladder cancer cell lines were incubated with BCG (live or lyophilized BCG Connaught) for 2 h. RNA was extracted and evaluated by Representational Differential Analysis (RDA) and oligo arrays. Gene expression was confirmed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction on fresh cell lines with differential abilities to internalize BCG. The effect of 2 major BCG soluble proteins, antigen 85B (Ag85B) and Mycobacterium protein tyrosine phosphatase A (MptpA) and BCG Tice
