Transcriptomic analysis of micropapillary high grade T1 urothelial bladder cancer.
Article in Scientific reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
No consensus currently exist on the optimal treatment of patients with high-risk nonmuscle invasive (HGT1) micropapillary variant of bladder cancer (MPBC). Transcripsome analysis may allow stratification of MPBC-HGT1 enabling prediction of recurrence and guide therapeutic management for individual patients. Whole transcriptome RNA-Sequencing of tumors from 23 patients with MPBC-HGT1 and 64 conventional urothelial carcinomas (cUC) (reference set) was performed. Differentially expressed genes between MPBC-HGT1 and cUC-HGT1 were explored. Cox proportional hazard models and Kapplan-Meier methods were used to assess the relation between time to progression (TTP) and individual gene expression adjusting for clinical covariates. Over 3000 genes were differentially expressed in MPBC-HGT1 as compared with cUC-HGT1 and a 26-gene signature is characteristic of MPBC within HGT1. A set of three genes; CD36, FAPB3 and RAETE1; were significantly associated with TTP. High expression of FABP3 and CD36 were associated with shorter TTP (p = 0.045 and p = 0.08) as was low expression of RAET1E (p = 0.01). Our study suggest that a 26-gene signature can define MPBC-HGT1 within conventional urothelial carcinomas. A prognostic risk index of three genes (FABP3, CD36 and RAET1E) was found to be associated with shorter TTP and may help classify a group of patients with MPBC-HGT1 with high-risk of early progression. These observations might have implications in terms of radical cystectomy recommendation in MPBC patients.
