Expression and Clinical Significance of MMP-28 in Bladder Cancer.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
aimsThe aim of this study to determine the expression of MMP-28 in bladder urothelial carcinoma and to analyze the correlation between MMP-28 and the clinicopathological characteristics of human bladder carcinoma, and its relationship with patient prognosis.
methodsA total of 491 surgically resected bladder cancer samples and 80 normal tissue adjacent to the tumor were stained by immunohistochemistry. The expression of MMP-28 in these samples was quantitated, and the value of MMP-28 as a marker of bladder cancer and prognosis was assessed.
resultsThe expression of MMP-28 in urinary bladder carcinoma was higher than in normal bladder mucosa. The high level of MMP-28 was significantly correlated with tumor histology grade, lymphatic metastasis, lymph node infiltration, and distant metastasis (P < 0.05). The upregulation of MMP-28 was also closely related to the risk of cancer progression and the survival of patients. Further analysis documented that high expression of MMP-28 was associated with decreased overall survival in bladder cancer patients.
conclusionsThe abnormal expression of MMP-28 may be related to the initiation and development of urothelial carcinoma. The upregulation of MMP-28 can be used as one of the effective indicators to diagnose bladder cancer and predict tumor progression.
