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

Background: Bladder cancer (BLCA) is a common urogenital malignancy with significant heterogeneity, and gemcitabine serves as a key chemotherapeutic agent for BLCA. This study examined gemcitabine sensitivity-related long noncoding RNA (GSRlncRNA) in BLCA and constructed a prognostic signature. Methods: Gene expression and clinical data were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. The gemcitabine sensitivity of BLCA samples was quantitatively calculated. Using weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA), we analyzed the role of GSRlncRNA in BLCA. We developed a prognostic signature using machine learning algorithm integration, with the TCGA-BLCA cohort (n=405) serving as the training set and GSE31684 (n=93) serving as the validation cohort. Patients were stratified into low- and high-risk groups based on risk scores. Comparative analyses included prognosis, immune infiltration, mutational profiles, and pathway enrichment. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and in vitro experiments further validated the expression and functional roles of GSRlncRNA in BLCA. Results: GSRlncRNAs were identified via WGCNA. The partial least squares regression for Cox (plsRcox) was selected as the optimal modeling approach. A prognostic signature comprising 37 GSRlncRNAs effectively stratified patients into distinct risk groups, which demonstrated significant differences in survival outcomes, pathway enrichment, immune infiltration, and mutational profiles. To enhance clinical utility, a nomogram and web-based calculator were developed. scRNA-seq clarified the critical roles of Conclusions: We identified critical prognostic associations between GSRlncRNAs and BLCA. Based on these findings, we constructed a GSRlncRNA-based predictive signature, which demonstrated considerable potential for risk stratification and personalized treatment decisions. Functional experiments further validated the involvement of GSRlncRNAs in BLCA progression.
