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.

Abstract

Objective: PD-1 based immunochemotherapy has improved bladder cancer (BC) outcomes, yet individual responses remain heterogeneous. Low-cost, non-invasive predictive biomarkers are urgently needed. Urinary protein semi-quantification (UPSQ) correlates with BC tumor load, but its predictive value during PD-1 based immunochemotherapy remains unclear. We conducted a Methods: 104 patients received 3 cycles of tislelizumab plus nab-paclitaxel. UPSQ at baseline (UP-B) and 60 ± 7 days (UP-60) after treatment initiation, urinary red blood cell (URBC) and urinary white blood cell (UWBC) were dynamically detected. Dynamic indices (UPDV score, UPV risk stratification) were defined to evaluate UPSQ changes. The primary endpoint was clinical complete response (cCR), and the secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and events-free survival (EFS). Bulk RNA-seq transcriptomic analysis was performed in 22 MIBC patients. Results: UPSQ decreased significantly at 60 days in the overall cohort and subgroups (all p < 0.05). Baseline URBC and UWBC were positively correlated with UPSQ, while tumor size was positively associated with UPSQ in MIBC patients. In regression analyses, several indicators reached nominal significance ( Conclusions: UPSQ was linked to the clinical outcomes of patients receiving PD-1-based immunochemotherapy for BC. In MIBC, lower baseline UPSQ grade may be associated with a tumor transcriptomic phenotype contributing to better cCR and OS.
