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

Bladder cancer (BC) is one of the most common malignancies. Two previous studies identified collagen type V alpha 2 (COL5A2) as a potential biomarker in BC, both are simple reanalysis of a single transcriptomic dataset without subgroup analysis for muscle-invasive BC (MIBC). We focused in MIBC patients and explored the role of COL5A2 from an integration perspective, using refined methodology covering individual participant data meta-analysis and bioinformatics analysis. Eight transcriptomic datasets of 787 MIBC patients (including one dataset containing genomic mutation information) and two drug sensitivity datasets of 29 cell lines in which more than 250 compounds were analyzed. We found subjects with increased COL5A2 gene expression exhibited poorer prognosis, and the power analysis confirmed adequate sample size. FGFR3 was the only gene differential mutated between the COL5A2 high and low expression groups. Differential expression and co-expression network analysis suggested potential association between COL5A2 expression and essential pathways involved in cancer invasion and dissemination, including cell adhesion, extracellular matrix organization, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Coordinately, analysis of drug screening datasets and gene-drug interaction also revealed COL5A2 expression linked to cell morphogenesis, angiogenesis, blood vessel development, and urogenital development. The utility and feasibility of COL5A2 for clinically applicable prognosis prediction and risk classification and the exact underlying molecular mechanism should be further investigated in subsequent studies.
