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

Many studies described glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) as a fundamental player in cancer metabolism, which can be employed as a prognostic biomarker that may help in new treatment strategy development. This study will describe the pattern of GLUT1 expression in urinary bladder cancer and try to associate it with tumor clinicopathologic factors. Standard immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining protocol was utilized to identify the location and expression pattern of GLUT1 in a panel of 128 urinary bladder carcinoma compared to 24 normal tissues using tissue microarrays. GLUT1 expression was found up-regulated significantly in cancer cases, and it was found in 111 (86.7%) urinary bladder cancers compared to 4 (16.6%) of control cases (P < 0.05). Positive GLUT1 immunohistochemical staining was significantly correlated with low grade, low stage, and non-muscularis propria invasive urinary bladder cancer cases (P < 0.05). Log-rank test and Kaplan Meier survival curves displayed significant poor survival in stage III and stage IV patients (P < 0.05); mean survival is lowest at 29.924 months in stage IV patients. Similarly, significantly better survival is observed in low-grade tumors (P < 0.05). Urinary bladder cancer showed increased GLUT1 expression compared to a control group. IHC staining of GLUT1 can be a supportive tool in predicting prognostic and survival estimates of urinary bladder tumors with specific clinical and morphologic characteristics.
