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

backgroundBladder cancer (BC) is a common urinary tract system tumor with high recurrence rate and different populations show distinct response to immunotherapy. Novel biomarkers that can accurately predict prognosis and therapeutic responses are urgently needed. Here, we aim to identify a novel prognostic and therapeutic responses immune-related gene signature of BC through a comprehensive bioinformatics analysis.

methodsThe robust rank aggregation was conducted to integrate differently expressed genes (DEGs) in datasets of the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and the gene expression omnibus (GEO). Lasso and Cox regression analyses were performed to formulate a novel mRNA signature that could predict prognosis of BC patients. Subsequently, the prognostic value and predictive value of the signature was validated with two independent cohorts GSE13507 and IMvigor210. Finally, quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis was conducted to determine the expression of mRNAs in BC cell lines (UM-UC-3, EJ-1, SW780 and T24).

resultsWe built a signature comprised the eight mRNAs: CNKSR1, COPZ2, CXorf57, FASN, PCOLCE2, RGS1, SPINT1 and TPST1. Our prognostic signature could be used to stratify BC population into two risk groups with distinct immune profile and responsiveness to immunotherapy. The results of qRT-PCR demonstrated that the eight mRNAs exhibited different expression levels in BC cell lines.

conclusionOur study constructed a convenient and reliable 8-mRNA gene signature, which might provide prognostic prediction and aid treatment decision making of BC patients in clinical practice.
