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

LncRNA AL161431.1 is currently known as a factor that can promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition. However, its role in the prognosis, immune infiltration and progression of bladder cancer (BLCA)patients is still unclear. The expression of AL161431.1 is elevated in BLCA tissues compared to normal tissues according to the TCGA database. By combining this data with clinical information, patients with high AL161431.1 expression have more advanced clinicopathological stages and shorter survival periods. Furthermore, AL161431.1 was identified as an independent prognostic factor for bladder cancer. We further analyzed the differences in immune infiltration, tumor mutation burden (TMB), immune checkpoints, and sensitivity to immunotherapy between groups with different levels of AL161431.1 expression. Enrichment analysis demonstrated that AL161431.1 is associated with numerous immune signaling pathways. High expression of AL161431.1 in cancer tissues was confirmed by qRT-PCR. CCK8, transwell, and wound healing demonstrated the oncogenic effects of AL161431.1. In conclusion, AL161431.1 is associated with immune infiltration in bladder cancer and has the potential to become a biomarker for predicting the prognosis of BLCA.
