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
The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays a critical regulatory role in bladder cancer (BLCA) progression and metastasis. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) presents as an essential mechanism of tumor invasion and metastasis. Accumulating pieces of evidence indicated that several microenvironmental factors, including fibroblasts, endothelial, and immune cells, induced EMT in tumor cells. As a hallmark gene of the EMT process, calumenin (CALU) was previously reported to directly impact cancer metastasis. However, the functions and molecular mechanisms of CALU have been rarely reported in BLCA. By multi-omics bioinformatics analysis of 408 TCGA BLCA patients, we demonstrated that CALU was an independent risk factor for BLCA outcome. Subsequently, we verified the correlation of CALU with cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and tumor-infiltrating immune cells. The results suggested a positive correlation of CALU with CAFs, CD8+ T cells and macrophages. Also, CALU was significantly associated with multiple immune checkpoint-related genes, which ultimately influenced patients' responsiveness to immunotherapy. Further, we found that the impact of CALU on BLCA prognosis might also be correlated with gene mutations and ferroptosis. Finally, we validated the roles of CALU by single-cell RNA sequencing, PCR and immunohistochemistry. In conclusion, we found that CALU affected BLCA prognosis associated with multiple mechanisms, including TME remodeling, gene mutation and ferroptosis. Further studies on CALU may provide new targets for BLCA immunotherapy and precision medicine.
