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

Abnormal m6A methylation plays a significant role in cancer progression. Increasingly, researchers have focused on developing lncRNA signatures to evaluate the prognosis of cancer patients. The specific function of m6A-related lncRNAs in the prognosis of bladder cancer patients and the immune microenvironment of bladder cancer remains elusive. Herein, we performed a comprehensive analysis of m6A-related lncRNA prognostic values and their association with the immune microenvironment in bladder cancer using the TCGA dataset. A total of 9 m6A-related lncRNAs were dramatically correlated with overall survival outcomes in bladder cancer. Two molecular subtypes (cluster 1 and cluster 2) were identified by consensus clustering for 9 m6A-related prognostic lncRNAs. Cluster 1 was significantly correlated with poor prognosis, advanced clinical stage, higher PD-L1 expression, a higher ESTIMATEScore and immuneScore, and distinct immune cell infiltration. GSEA revealed the enrichment of apoptosis and the JAK-STAT signaling pathway in cluster 2. A prognostic risk score was constructed using 9 m6A-related prognostic lncRNAs, which functioned as an independent prognostic factor for bladder cancer. Moreover, bladder cancer patients in the low-risk score group had a higher pN stage, pT stage, and clinical stage and a lower tumor grade and immuneScore. The risk score was correlated with the infiltration levels of certain immune cells, including B cells, plasma cells, follicular helper T cells, regulatory T cells, resting NK cells, neutrophils, M0 macrophages, M1 macrophages, and M2 macrophages. Collectively, our study elucidated the important role of m6A-related lncRNAs in the prognosis of bladder cancer patients and in the bladder cancer immune microenvironment. The results suggest that the components of the m6A-related prognostic lncRNA signature might serve as a crucial mediator of the immune microenvironment in bladder cancer, representing promising therapeutic targets for improving immunotherapeutic efficacy.
