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

Human bladder cancer (BCa) is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignancies worldwide. It has high recurrence rates and low-grade malignancy, thus representing an important public health concern. An increasing number of studies suggest that long-noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in various biological processes and disease pathologies, including cancer.We analyzed the expression profiles of lncRNA, miRNA, and mRNA, along with the clinical information of BCa patients collected from the Cancer Genome Atlas database to identify lncRNA biomarkers for prognosis. We also constructed an lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA global triple network (competitive endogenous RNA network) by bioinformational approach.This BCa lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network consisted of 23 miRNA nodes, 52 mRNA nodes, 59 lncRNA nodes, and 365 edges. Subsequent gene ontology (GO) and pathway analyses were performed using BinGO for Cytoscape and Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integration Discovery, respectively, highlighting important GO terms and pathways that were enriched in the network. Subnetworks were created using 3 key lncRNAs (MAGI2-AS3, ADAMTS9-AS2, and LINC00330), revealing associations with BCa-linked mRNAs and miRNAs. Finally, an analysis of significantly differentiating RNAs found 6 DElncRNAs (AC112721.1, ADAMTS9-AS1, ADAMTS9-AS2, HCG22, MYO16-AS1, and SACS-AS1), 1 DEmiRNA (miRNA-195), and 6 DEmRNAs (CCNB1, FAM129A, MAP1B, TMEM100, AIFM3, and HOXB5) that correlated with BCa patient survival.Our results provide a novel perspective from which to study the lncRNA-related ceRNA network in BCa, contributing to the development of future diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
