Heat Shock Proteins in Urine as Cancer Biomarkers.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a large family of molecular chaperones, which have shown to be implicated in various hallmarks of cancer such as resistance to apoptosis, invasion, angiogenesis, induction of immune tolerance, and metastasis. Several studies reported aberrant expression of HSPs in liquid biopsies of cancer patients and this has opened new perspectives on the use of HSPs as biomarkers of cancer. However, no specific diagnostic, predictive, or prognostic HSP chaperone-based urine biomarker has been yet discovered. On the other hand, divergent expression of HSPs has also been observed in other pathologies, including neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases, suggesting that new approaches should be employed for the discovery of cancer-specific HSP biomarkers. In this study, we propose a new strategy in identifying cancer-specific HSP-based biomarkers, where HSP networks in urine can be used to predict cancer. By analyzing HSPs present in urine, we could predict cancer with approximately 90% precision by machine learning approach. We aim to show that coupling the machine learning approach and the understanding of how HSPs operate, including their functional cycles, collaboration with and within networks, is effective in defining patients with cancer, which may provide the basis for future discoveries of novel HSP-based biomarkers of cancer.
