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

Backgrounds: Approximately 75% of bladder cancer occurrences are of the non-muscle-invasive type. The estimated five-year survival rate is 26%-55%. Currently, there is no reliable biomarker available for early diagnosis and prognosis of bladder cancer. The present study aims to identify a biomarker using bioinformatic approaches to provide a new insight in clinical research for early diagnosis and prognosis of bladder cancer. Methods: Clinical data and a transcriptome of bladder cancer were obtained from TCGA, GEO, GETx, and UCSC Xena. The differential expressed gene (DEG) analysis, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), and survival analysis using the Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional-hazards models were used to identify the Microtubule-associated Proteins 1A (MAP1A). on overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) was analyzed using GEPIA and GETx databases. The TIMER 2.0 database predicted the correlation between MAP1A and immunocytes and immune checkpoints. Target prediction of the regulated competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs) network of MAP1A was performed using starBase and TargetScan. Cystoscope v3.7.2 software was used to visualize the ceRNA coexpression network. The R programming language v4.0.2 was applied as an analytic tool. Gene expression of MAP1A verified by RT-qPCR. Results: The low expression of MAP1A was verified in bladder cancer tissues and bladder cancer cell lines SW780 and 5637. P < 0.001 were obtained by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards model, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.4. Significant correlations between MAP1A and OS (P < 0.001, HR = 1.9) as well as DFS (P < 0.05, HR = 1.7) in bladder cancer were identified through gene expression profiling interactive analysis (GEPIA), indicating MAP1A may be a high-risk factor. Significant correlation in single copy-number variation of MAP1A gene with CD8 Conclusion: MAP1A is considered as a prospective biomarker for early diagnosis, therapeutic observation, and prognosis analysis in bladder cancer.
