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

Striatin-4 (STRN4 or Zinedin) is a scaffolding protein belonging to the mammalian STRN family of proteins and consists of multiple functional signaling domains. Due to its numerous signaling complexes, STRN4 has been reported to be involved in the tumorigenesis of various cancer types, including colon cancer, liver cancer and prostate cancer. However, few studies on STRN4 have been conducted in bladder cancer, and its prognostic role in bladder cancer remains unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the expression levels of STRN4 in bladder transitional cell carcinoma and evaluate the prognostic role of STRN4. STRN4 expression in clinical specimens was analyzed using immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. It was demonstrated that STRN4 expression was significantly associated with clinical parameters such as tumor size, muscle invasion depth and pathological tumor grade. Abnormal STRN4 expression was typically associated with worse overall survival time and outcome when compared with the low STRN4 expression group. Using multivariate analysis, it was reported that STRN4 was an independent prognostic biomarker for survival time in bladder transitional cell carcinoma. Although the specific biological mechanisms of STRN4 in bladder cancer still remain to be elucidated, STRN4 expression could be a prognostic indicator in bladder cancer.
