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

Cytokeratin 5 is a marker of basal molecular subtypes of muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), which correlates with worse overall survival compared to luminal subtypes. Our observations have not confirmed CK5 as a marker of high-grade (HG) disease in Ta non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Therefore, to understand the basal-luminal immunohistochemistry profile in Ta NMIBC, we performed immunohistochemistry for CK5, P40, P63 (basal), GATA3 and CK20 (luminal) and studied the correlation with HG and clinical outcome in 109 patients with Ta NMIBC. HG and low-grade (LG) diseases were scored in each patient. Four different CK5 patterns were evaluated: absent (median 41.3%), normal (72.5%), rising (84.4%) and full thickness (23.9%). The median percentage of GATA3 was 100%. HG disease and CK5 expression and rising CK5 pattern had a significant inverse correlation, whereas HG disease and CK20 expression had a significant positive correlation. We also found a significant inverse correlation between CK5 expression and CK20 expression. Quantitative PCR confirmed that the presence of CK5 correlated with up-regulation of CK5 RNA. None of the markers could differentiate patients with regard to clinical outcome. Our results suggest a role for CK5 and CK20 in differentiating between LG and HG disease in Ta NMIBC.
