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

backgroundAngiogenesis is a major promotor of tumor progression and metastasis. Nevertheless, it is undetermined how angiogenesis-related genes (ARGs) influence bladder cancer.

methodsThe profiles of bladder cancer gene expression were collected from the TCGA-BLCA cohort. The LASSO regression analysis was used to build an angiogenesis-related signature (ARG_score) with the prognostic ARGs. Verification analyses were conducted across the GSE48075 dataset to demonstrate the robustness of the signature. Differences between the two risk groups based on clinical outcomes, immune landscape, mutation status, chemotherapeutic effectiveness for anticancer drugs, and immunotherapy efficacy were analyzed. A nomogram was developed to improve the clinical efficacy of this predictive tool. The expression levels of model genes in normal bladder epithelial cell lines (SV-HUC-1) and bladder cancer cell lines (T24 and 5637) were detected by qRT-PCR assay.

resultsFour angiogenesis-associated gene signature was constructed based on the LASSO regression algorithm. The signature showed independent risk factors of overall survival for bladder cancer, validated using two external survival datasets. Additionally, we built a prognostic nomogram to improve the practicality of the ARG_score. High-risk individuals showed stronger immunocyte infiltration, immune-related functions, elevated expression of immune checkpoints, reduced TIDE score, and higher combined IPS-PD-1 and IPS-CTLA4 scores, suggesting a heightened responsiveness to immune checkpoint inhibitors. Furthermore, patients with low and high risk showed distinct responsiveness to anticancer drugs. The expression levels of 5 model genes (COL5A2, JAG1, MSX1, OLR1, and STC) were significantly increased in bladder cancer cell lines (T24 and 5637) compared with the normal bladder epithelial cell line SV-HUC-1.

conclusionsThe model constructed based on ARGs may have wide application in predicting outcomes and therapeutic responses.
