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

EIF4A3 (Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4A3 (EIF4A3) was recently recognized as an oncogene; however, its role in BLCA (bladder cancer) remains unclear. We explored EIF4A3 expression and its prognostic value in BLCA in public datasets, including the TCGA (The Cancer Genome Atlas) and GEO (Gene Expression Omnibus). Thereafter, the association between EIF4A3 expression and the infiltration of immune cells and immune-checkpoint expression was determined using TIMER2 (Tumor Immune Estimation Resource 2) tool. Additionally, the impact of EIF4A3 on cellular proliferation and apoptosis events in BLCA cell lines was determined by siRNA technology. In this study, EIF4A3 was found to be significantly upregulated in BLCA, upregulated expression of EIF4A3 was related to poor prognosis, advanced histologic grade, subtype, pathological stage, white race, and poor primary therapy outcome. The immune infiltration analysis revealed that EIF4A3 expression was negatively associated with CD8
