Genome-Wide Analyses of Prognostic and Therapeutic Alternative Splicing Signatures in Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundAlternative splicing (AS) is an indispensable post-transcriptional modification applied during the maturation of mRNA, and AS defects have been associated with many cancers. This study was designed to thoroughly analyze AS events in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) at the genome-wide level.
methodsWe adopted a gap analysis to screen for significant differential AS events (DASEs) associated with BLCA. DASEs with prognostic value for OS and the disease-free interval (DFI) were identified by Cox analysis. In addition, a differential AS network and AS clusters were identified using unsupervised cluster analysis. We examined differences in the sensitivity to chemotherapy and immunotherapy between BLCA patients with high and low overall survival (OS) risk.
resultsAn extensive number of DASEs (296) were found to be clinically relevant in BLCA. A prognosis model was established based prognostic value of OS and DFI. CUGBP elav-like family member 2 (CELF2) was identified as a hub splicing factor for AS networks. We also identified AS clusters associated with OS using unsupervised cluster analysis, and we predicted that the effects of cisplatin and gemcitabine chemotherapy would be different between high- and low-risk groups based on OS prognosis.
conclusionWe completed a comprehensive analysis of AS events in BLCA at the genome-wide level. The present findings revealed that DASEs and splicing factors tended to impact BLCA patient survival and sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs, which may provide novel prospects for BLCA therapies.
