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

purposeThe aim of our report was to recognize bladder cancer (BC)-specific serum exosome-derived long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) profile for early diagnosis of BC.

methodsPotential BC-specific exosomal lncRNA indicators were discerned by genome-wide microarray profiling analysis of serum exosomes from 10 healthy participants and 10 early stage BC patients (Ta and T1), followed by multi-stage validation through quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) in BC cells, culture solution as well as 200 serum specimens and 50 tissue specimens from non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients. The diagnostic panel was established using logistic regression and evaluated by receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve.

resultsIn the training stage, a diagnostic panel was constructed based on three up-regulated exosomal lncRNAs (G023016, RP11-553N19.1, and LINC0087) in NMIBC patients compared with healthy controls, yielding an area under ROC curve (AUC) of 0.827. We verified tumor-derived origin of these three lncRNAs which existed steadily in serum because of being enclosed in exosomes. The three-lncRNA panel was demonstrated to perform well in terms of NMIBC diagnosis, revealing AUC values of 0.809 and 0.812, respectively, in the following expanded validation stage and double-blind stage which was demonstrated to be significantly superior to that of urine cytology in double-blind stage (AUC = 0.630) (P < 0.0001). Moreover, serum exosome-derived G023016 significantly associated with tumor grade and TNM stage (P = 0.006 and P < 0.001, respectively), and LINC0087 significantly associated with TNM stage (P = 0.023).

conclusionThe three-exosomal lncRNA signature could function as qualified blood-based non-invasive indicator for early diagnosis of BC.
