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

backgroundBladder cancer is the ninth most-common cancer worldwide and it is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Tumor mutational burden (TMB) is an emerging biomarker in cancer characterized by microsatellite instability. TMB has been described as a powerful predictor of tumor behavior and response to immunotherapy.

methodsA total of 443 bladder cancer samples obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were analyzed for mutation types, TMB values, and prognostic value of TMB. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified from the TMB groupings. Functional analysis was performed to assess the prognostic value of the first 30 core genes. CIBERSORT algorithm was used to determine the correlation between the immune cells and TMB subtypes.

resultsSingle nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and C>T were reported as the most common missense mutations and we also identified a high rate of mutations in TP53, TTN, KMT2D. Bladder cancer patients with high TMB showed a better prognosis. Enrichment analysis of the DEGs revealed that they were involved in the regulation of the P13K-Akt signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, and Ras signaling pathway. The high expression of hub genes ADRA2A, CXCL12, S1PR1, ADAMTS9, F13A1, and SPON1 was correlated with poor overall survival. Besides, significant differences in the composition of the immune cells of T cells CD8, T cells CD4 memory activated, NK cells resting and Mast cells resting were observed.

conclusionsThe present study provides a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the prediction of TMB in bladder cancer and its clinical significance. Also, the study provides additional prognostic information and opportunities for immunotherapy in bladder cancer.
