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

Background: Bladder cancer (BC) is a urological tumor which can be associated with a poor prognosis. Aging is a crucial factor in cancer development, but the role and prognostic value of aging-related genes (ARGs) in BC are unclear. Methods: In this study, with reference to The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, a 5-gene signature model was constructed for the analysis of BC prognosis, immune microenvironment, and immunotherapy response. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and univariate Cox regression analyses were applied. Results: There was significant heterogeneity in the genetic variation and expression profiles of ARGs in BC. Striking variations were revealed in survival outcomes between high- and low-risk groups by Kaplan-Meier curves. The majority of samples of cases in the high-risk group belonged to the middle and late stage of the tumor and had a higher abundance of immune infiltration and immune checkpoint expression, and better immunotherapeutic effects. Conclusions: The risk score model of ARGs achieved more satisfactory results in the prediction of prognosis, clinical characteristics, immune infiltration, tumor mutational load, and immunotherapy in BC patients with good stability and reproducibility, offering innovative approaches and orientations for the diagnosis and treatment of patients with BC in the future.
