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

STAG2 (Stromal Antigen 2), in healthy somatic cells, functions in sister chromatid cohesion, DNA damage repair, and genome organization, but its role in muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) remains unknown. Here, using whole-exome and targeted sequencing (n=119 bladder cancer clinical samples), we found several STAG2 mutations in MIBC that correlate with loss of protein expression. The analysis of a bladder cancer tissue microarray (n=346) revealed that decreased STAG2 protein expression is associated with improved overall and progression-free survival for MIBC patients. In mouse xenograft studies, STAG2 knockdown (KD) decelerated MIBC tumor growth, whereas STAG2 overexpression accelerated tumor growth. In cell line studies, STAG2 loss augmented treatment with cisplatin, a first-line therapy for MIBC. STAG2 KD or overexpression did not alter degree of aneuploidy, copy number variations, or cell cycle distribution. However, unbiased RNA sequencing analysis revealed that STAG2 KD altered gene expression. STAG2 KD led to significant downregulation of several gene sets, such as collagen containing extracellular matrix, external encapsulating structure organization, and regulation of chemotaxis. Therefore, we investigated the effect of STAG2 KD on cell migration and invasion
