Nucleocytoplasmic β-catenin expression contributes to neuroendocrine differentiation in muscle invasive bladder cancer.
Article in Cancer science, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Bladder cancers are heterogeneous in nature, showing diverse molecular profiles and histopathological characteristics, which pose challenges for diagnosis and treatment. However, understanding the molecular basis of such heterogeneity has remained elusive. This study aimed to elucidate the molecular landscape of neuroendocrine-like bladder tumors, focusing on the involvement of β-catenin localization. Analyzing the transcriptome data and benefiting from the molecular classification tool, we undertook an in-depth analysis of muscle-invasive bladder cancers to uncover the molecular characteristics of the neuroendocrine-like differentiation. The study explored the contribution of transcription factors and chromatin remodeling complexes to neuroendocrine differentiation in bladder cancer. The study revealed a significant correlation between β-catenin localization and neuroendocrine differentiation in muscle-invasive bladder tumors, highlighting the molecular complexity of neuroendocrine-like tumors. Enrichment of YY1 transcription factor, E2F family members, and Polycomb repressive complex components in β-catenin-positive tumors suggest their potential contribution to neuroendocrine phenotypes. Our findings contribute valuable insights into the molecular complexity of neuroendocrine-like bladder tumors. By identifying potential therapeutic targets and refining diagnostic strategies, this study advances our understanding of endocrinology in the context of bladder cancer. Further investigations into the functional implications of these molecular relationships are warranted to enhance our knowledge and guide future therapeutic interventions.
