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

Although important progress has been made in elucidating the role of the tumor microenvironment in the development of bladder cancer, little is currently known regarding the interactions with vascular endothelial cells (ECs) that promote cancer progression. In the present study, it is reported that epidermal growth factor receptor ligands induced by the upregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)‑A and VEGF‑C via the VEGF receptor (R)2/nuclear factor‑κB signaling pathway in ECs, may trigger EGFR signaling in bladder cancer cells and promote bladder cancer progression. Furthermore, the interaction between bladder cancer cells and ECs enhanced EC recruitment though the CXCL1/CXCL5/CXCL8‑CXCR2 pathway. Western blotting was used to evaluate the presence of VEGFR, EGFR and nuclear factor‑κB, and reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to evaluate the expression of VEGFR ligands and EGFR ligands. The present results indicate the mechanism by which the indirect interplay between bladder cancer cells and vascular ECs promotes cancer progression, through the VEGFR2 signaling pathway in vascular ECs and through the EGFR signaling pathway in bladder cancer cells.
