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

Bladder cancer (BCa) is a life-threaten disease with an increasing incidence with age, and immunotherapy has become an important treatment for BCa, while the efficiency of the immune system declines with age. It is vital to reveal the mechanisms of tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and identify novel immunotherapy targets for BCa. Through analyzing the RNA-seq of TCGA-BLCA cohort, we distinguished two ferroptosis-related BCa clusters, and we discovered that in comparation with cluster 2, the cluster 1 BCa patients showed higher PD-L1 expression, more unfavorable overall survival and higher tumor stage and grade. XCELL analyses showed that higher level of Th2 cell and Myeloid dendritic cell were enriched in cluster 1, while NK T cell was enriched in cluster 2, and TIDE analysis revealed that cluster 2 was more sensitive to immunotherapy than cluster 1. GSEA analysis implied that Toll-like signaling pathway and JAK_STAT signaling pathway were significantly enriched in cluster 1. Subsequently, through performing bioinformatic analysis and cell experiments, we demonstrated that GCLM is overexpressed in BCa and indicates dismal prognosis, and knockdown of GCLM can significantly suppress the colony formation ability of BCa cells. Furthermore, we also found that GCLM might be correlated with immune infiltration in BCa, and can serve as a tumor promotor and immunological biomarker in BCa, our research showed the vital roles of ferroptosis regulators in TIME of BCa, and GCLM is a latent therapeutic target for cancer immunotherapy.
