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

purposeFor 40 years cisplatin-based chemotherapy has been administered to patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). The best evidence of its efficacy is found in the context of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). However, the benefit to the patient is modest, with an improvement in 5-year overall survival of only 5-8%. Approximately 60% of patients still have muscle-invasive disease at cystectomy despite NAC. Selecting patients based on the likelihood of response appears to be a promising strategy to improve on this modest benefit. To realize this promise, researchers are investigating biomarkers for identifying responders and non-responders prior to NAC.

methodsIn this review, we discuss a number of tissue- and liquid-based biomarkers associated with the response to NAC. RESULTS AND

conclusionsWe elaborate biomarkers at the methylation, DNA, RNA and protein levels and give their current status in clinical trials and/or their implementation in daily clinical practice. In particular, detection of alterations in DNA damage repair pathways as well as molecular subtypes seems to be a promising method for identifying responders to NAC. Furthermore, we illustrate liquid-based biomarkers. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patient blood and urine appear to offer an elegant way for biological characterization of MIBC. Recent data show that the presence of ctDNA is limited in patients with localized MIBC being considered for NAC. At this disease stage, ctDNA in patient urine may be more promising for the genomic characterization of MIBC. However, ctDNA in blood or urine has not yet been rigorously investigated in this clinical context.
