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.
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
backgroundCisplatin resistance remains a major obstacle in the treatment of bladder cancer (BC). This study aimed to define molecular drivers of cisplatin resistance and to assess potential therapeutic targets that may help restore treatment responsiveness.
methodsIntegrative transcriptomic analyses were performed using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) cohort to compare cisplatin non-responders with responders, alongside a cisplatin-resistant BC cell model to identify dysregulated pathways. Functional studies, including siRNA-mediated knockdown, SRB assay, flow cytometry, western blotting, and microarray-based transcriptomics, sphere formation assay, and clonogenic assay, were used to characterize the dysregulated pathways.
resultsBoth cisplatin non-responders in TCGA dataset and resistant BC cells exhibited upregulation of CCND1 and enrichment of E2F target genes. Silencing Cyclin D1 restored cisplatin sensitivity in resistant BC cells. Abemaciclib, a CDK4/6 inhibitor, selectively inhibited proliferation of cisplatin-resistant BC cells, reduced RB phosphorylation, induced sub-G1 accumulation, and suppressed expression of key regulators of cell-cycle progression and homologous recombination repair. Combined treatment with abemaciclib and cisplatin synergistically suppressed the proliferation of cisplatin-resistant BC cells in vitro and produced significantly greater tumor growth inhibition in an RT112 xenograft model in vivo. Furthermore, Abemaciclib reduced sphere-forming capability and enhanced the anti-clonogenic effect of cisplatin in cisplatin-resistant BC cells.
conclusionThese findings identify a Cyclin D1/CDK4/6–E2F signaling dependency as a characteristic feature of the cisplatin-resistant state in BC. Targeting this acquired vulnerability provides a mechanistic rationale for combination strategies to enhance cisplatin responsiveness for refractory BC.
