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
backgroundRecurrence is common in bladder cancer, with a hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME) playing a role in genetic instability and prognosis of bladder cancer. However, we still lack practical hypoxia related model for predicting the prognosis of bladder cancer. In this study, we identified new prognosis-related hypoxia genes and established a new hypoxia score related signature.
methodsThe Gene Set Variation Analysis (GSVA) algorithm was utilized to calculate the hypoxia score of bladder cancer cases found on the The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database on the gene expression profiles. The cases were first divided into low- and high-hypoxia score groups and then differentially expressed genes (DEGs) expression analysis was conducted. Hypoxia-related genes were identified using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). We then conducted a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and carried out functional enrichment analysis of the genes that overlapped between DEGs and hypoxia-related genes. LASSO Cox regression analysis was used to establish a hypoxia-related prognostic signature, which was validated using the GSE69795 dataset downloaded from GEO database.
resultsResults from Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that patients with a high hypoxia score had significantly poor overall survival compared to patients with low hypoxia score. We selected 270 DEGs between low- and high-hypoxia score groups, while WGCNA analysis identified 1,313 genes as hypoxia-related genes. A total of 170 genes overlapped between DEGs and hypoxia-related genes. LASSO algorithms identified 29 genes associated with bladder cancer prognosis, which were used to construct a novel 29-gene signature model. The prognostic risk model performed well, since the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed an accuracy of 0.802 (95% CI: 0.759-0.844), and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis proved the model an independent predictor with hazard ratio (HR) =1.789 (95% CI: 1.585-2.019) (P<0.001). The low-risk score patients had remarkably longer overall survival than patients with a higher score (survival rate 71.06%
conclusionsWe established a novel 29-gene hypoxia-related signature model to predict the prognosis of bladder cancer cases. This model and identified hypoxia-related genes may further been used as biomarkers, assisting the evaluation of prognosis of bladder cancer cases and decision making in clinical practice.
