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 cancer (BCa) is a prevalent malignancy with a poor prognosis. SLC7A7 has been linked to BCa progression and angiogenesis, but its specific role remains unclear. We established a SLC7A7-knockdown BCa cell line to investigate its effects on angiogenesis. In vivo experiments assessed tumor vascularization, while in vitro studies explored exosome involvement. MiRNA sequencing identified miR-152-3p as a key regulator. Further investigation using dual-luciferase reporter assays, qRT-PCR, and Western blot revealed that miR-152-3p inhibits the expression of FGFR3 by binding to its 3' UTR. Meanwhile, functional assays, including angiogenesis assays, Transwell assays, and wound healing assays, were performed to evaluate the effects of miR-152-3p on angiogenesis. We confirmed the significant role of SLC7A7 in BCa progression, specifically in promoting angiogenesis, through the involvement of exosomes and the regulatory axis of miR-152-3p/ FGFR3. Targeting FGFR3 might be a promising strategy to reverse control BCa progression for an improved prognosis.
