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

Bladder cancer is a common malignancy in the urinary system. Stromal and immune cells in tumor microenvironments, including those in the bladder cancer microenvironment, can serve as prognostic markers. However, the complex processes of bladder cancer necessitate large-scale evaluation to better understand the underlying mechanisms and identify biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment. We used the Estimation of STromal and Immune cells in MAlignant Tumors using Expression data algorithm to assess the association between stromal and immune cell-related genes and overall survival of patients with bladder cancer. We also identified and evaluated differentially expressed genes between cancer and non-cancer tissues from The Cancer Genome Atlas. Patients were categorized into different prognosis groups according to their stromal/immune scores based on differential gene expression. In addition, the prognostic value of the differentially expressed genes was assessed in a separate validation cohort using the Gene Expression Omnibus microarray dataset GSE13507, which identified nine genes (
