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

backgroundUrothelial carcinoma presents as non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) in ~75% of primary cases. Addressing the limitations of the TNM and WHO04/16 classification systems, this study investigates genetic alterations, the mitotic activity index (MAI), and immunohistochemistry (IHC) markers CK20, p53, and CD25 as better prognostic biomarkers in NMIBC.

methodsUsing the Oncomine™ Focus Assay for targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS), 409 single-nucleotide variations (SNVs) and 193 copy number variations (CNVs) were identified across 287 patients with TaT1 tumors.

resultsFGFR3 and PIK3CA alterations were significantly more prevalent in Ta tumors, while T1 tumors had significant ERBB2 alterations. Low-grade (LG) tumors were enriched with FGFR3 alterations, while high-grade (HG) tumors were significantly associated with ERBB2 alterations, as well as FGFR1 and CCND1 amplifications. FGFR3 alterations were linked to shorter recurrence-free survival (RFS;

conclusionsIn multivariate Cox regression, MAI was the strongest predictor for PFS. Integrating genetic alterations and histopathological features may improve risk stratification in NMIBC.
