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 (BLCA) is the fifth most common cancer and has the features of low survival rate and high morbidity and mortality. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is a pool of global gene expression profile and contains huge amounts of cancer genomics data, which makes it possible to inquire the relationship between gene expression and prognosis of a series of malignant tumors including BLCA. Immune and stromal cells are two major components of tumor microenvironment (TME) which play an important role in judging the prognosis of tumor and influencing the progression of malignant, inflammatory, and metabolic disorders. In our study, we conducted a quantitative analysis of immune and stromal elements based on the ESTIMATE algorithm and thus divided BLCA cases into high and low groups. Then the differentially expressed genes closely related to tumor prognosis between groups were identified and had been shown to correlate with immune response and stromal alterations, which was further confirmed by functional enrichment analysis and protein-protein interaction networks. We validated those genes through BLCA dates downloaded from ArrayExpress and thus got the marker genes to predict prognosis of BLCA. Additionally, immune cell infiltration analysis explored the correlation between the verified genes and immune cells. In conclusion, we identified a series of TME-related genes that assess the prognosis and explored the interaction between TME and tumor prognosis to guide clinical individualized treatment.
