Molecular Subtyping in Muscle-Invasive Bladder Cancer on Predicting Survival and Response of Treatment.
Article in Biomedicines, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Molecular classifications for urothelial bladder cancer appear to be promising in disease prognostication and prediction. This study investigated the novel molecular subtypes of muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Tumor samples and normal tissues of MIBC patients were submitted for transcriptome sequencing. Expression profiles were clustered using K-means clustering and principal component analysis. The molecular subtypes were also applied to The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset and analyzed for clinical outcome correlation. Three molecular subtypes of MIBC were discovered, clusters A, B, and C. The most differentially upregulated genes in cluster A were BDKRB1, EDNRA, AVPR1A, PDGFRB, and TNC, while the most upregulated genes in cluster C were collagen-related genes, PDGFRB, and PRKG1. For cluster B, COL6A3, COL1A2, COL6A2, tenascin C, and fibroblast growth factor 2 were statistically suppressed. When the centroids of clustering on PCA were applied to TCGA data, the clustering significantly predicted survival outcomes. Cluster B had the best overall survival (OS), and cluster C was associated with poor OS but exhibited the best response to perioperative chemotherapy. Among all groups, cluster B had a better pathologic response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (40%). Based on the results of the present study, the novel clusters of subtype MIBC appear potentially suitable for integration into clinical practice.
