Article in PeerJ, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04872036 (Investigation of Prognostic Biomarkers in Patients With Urothelial Carcinoma Treated With Platinum Regimens), which is not on this map. Cited by 39 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundThe tumor protein p53 (TP53) mutant is one of the most frequent mutant genes in bladder cancer. In this study, we assessed the importance of the TP53 mutation in bladder cancer progression and drug selection, and identified potential pathways and core genes associated with the underlying mechanisms.

methodsGene expression data used in this study were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas and cBioportal databases. Drug sensitivity data were obtained from the Genomics of Drug Sensitivity in Cancer. We did functional enrichment analysis by gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) and the Database for Annotation, Visualization and Integrated Discovery (DAVID).

resultsWe found the TP53 mutation in 50% of bladder cancer patients. Patients with the TP53 mutation were associated with a lower TP53 mRNA expression level, more advanced tumor stage and higher histologic grade. Three drugs, mitomycin-C, doxorubicin and gemcitabine, were especially more sensitive to bladder cancer with the TP53 mutation. As for the mechanisms, we identified 863 differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Functional enrichment analysis suggested that DEGs were primarily enriched in multiple metabolic progressions, chemical carcinogenesis and cancer related pathways. The protein-protein interaction network identified the top 10 hub genes. Our results have suggested the significance of TP53 mutation in disease progression and drug selection in bladder cancer, and identified multiple genes and pathways related in such program, offering novel basis for bladder cancer individualized treatment.
