Predicting survival in bladder cancer with a novel apoptotic gene-related prognostic model.
Article in Discover oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundApoptosis and apoptotic genes play a critical role in the carcinogenesis and progression of bladder cancer. However, there is no prognostic model established by apoptotic genes.
methodsMessenger RNA (mRNA), Expression data, and related clinical data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. After extracting the apoptosis-related genes, the survival-related apoptosis genes were screened by univariate Cox regression analysis in the TCGA cohort. Following the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) regression method, these genes were modeled by multivariate Cox analysis. The predictive abilities of the Apoptosis-Related Gene Model (ARGM) for overall survival (OS) rate, disease-specific survival (DSS) measures, and progression-free survival (PFS) were verified by the Kaplan-Meier(K-M)survival analysis and time-dependent Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve. Functional enrichment analyses were performed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genome (KEGG). CIBERSORT and Single-Sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (ssGSEA) were used to calculate the type of immune cell infiltration and immune functions. The model's predictive ability for immunotherapy were evaluated using Tumor Immune Dysfunction and Exclusion (TIDE) and the Imvigor210 study.The single-cell sequencing was used to display the expression level of the ARGM.Finally,qRT-PCR was executed to validate the expression level of ARGM.
resultsSeveral apoptosis genes were identified through the model, including ANXA1, CASP6, CD2, F2, PDGFRB, SATB1, and TSPO. The prognostic value of the model for OS, DSS, and PFS were verified using the TCGA and GEO cohort. The model can predict patient response to immunotherapy treatment as established through the model's score which was linked to different types of immune cell infiltration and identified significant differences in the signal pathways between high-risk and low-risk groups. Nomogram variables, prompted from ARGM and clinical parameters, also generate a high predictive value for patient survival.
conclusionOurestablished apoptosis-related gene model (ARGM) has a substantial predictive value for prognosis and immunotherapy of bladder cancer. It may help with clinical consultation, clinical stratification, and treatment selection. The immune infiltration status and signal pathway of different risk groups also provide direction for further research.
