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

Bladder carcinoma (BLCA) is characterized by a high rate of post-surgery recurrence and multifocality. Multifocal tumors have a higher risk of recurrence compared to single tumors, significantly impacting bladder cancer-specific mortality. However, the interregional or intraregional heterogeneity within both primary and recurrent tumors remains poorly understood. Here, we employed single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze tumor lesions from five multifocal bladder cancer patients comprising three primary tumors and two recurrent tumors. Our findings revealed that malignant cells derived from recurrent multifocal bladder cancer exhibited higher interregional transcriptional similarity and consistent cellular communication. Furthermore, our analysis uncovered that malignant cells from recurrent tumors may evade immune destruction by suppressing cytokine responses and natural killer cell activity. Notably, we identified a preference for the expression of the tryptophan metabolic enzyme IL4I1 on SPP1
