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

The tumor microenvironment (TME) modulates therapeutic response and prognosis in patients with bladder cancer (BC). The roles of two phospholipase D (PLD) isoforms, PLD1 and PLD2 (hydrolysis of phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidic acid), in cancer cells have been well-studied in numerous cancer types, but their roles in the TME remain unclear. We used a mouse BC Pld2-KO carcinogenesis model and global transcriptomic analysis to reveal that PLD2 was significantly involved in BC progression through immunosuppressive pathways in the TME. We therefore focused on PLD2 and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), which were increased in Pld2-KO mice and further associated with poor prognoses in BC patients. In vitro, we found that Pld2-KO mouse TAMs had significantly enhanced proliferation, correlating closely with increased interleukin-1β (IL-1β) production. These results indicate that PLD2 suppresses BC progression by regulation of IL-1β secretion from TAMs in the TME, suggesting that PLD2 could serve as a potential therapeutic target for modifying the TME in BC.
