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 urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) is still one of the most malignant diseases and has a dismal outcome. Angiogenesis has confirmed its critical role in the development of malignant neoplasms. In this study, we uncovered the prognostic implications of the angiogenesis-related gene panel in urothelial tumors.

methodsThe RNA-seq data and clinical records of 402 patients with BLCA were collected from the TCGA database. The panel, including 145 genes involved in angiogenesis, was retrieved from the Uniprot database and the published work. The patients with similar expressed profiles were clustered, and the differences in gene expression were compared. The correlation of gene expression and BLCA outcomes or clinical features were analyzed.

resultsThere were two clusters of BLCA patients identified on the expressed basis of angiogenesis-related genes. A significant difference was detected in the tumor stages between the two clusters (P<0.001) and a striking advantaged prognosis shown in cluster_1 (86.83

conclusionsThis study showed an integrated profile of angiogenesis-related genes and identified the different BLCA subgroups with favorable prognosis and poor prognosis depended on the expression pattern of angiogenesis-related genes. Furthermore, this work revealed the single gene expressions of ECM1, FN1, FGF1, FAP, JAM3, THBS1, MFGE8 and COL8A2 involved in angiogenesis associated the prognosis remarkably.
