Assessment tool based on fatty acid metabolic signatures for predicting the prognosis and treatment response in bladder cancer.

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
Background: Fatty acid metabolism (FAM) is closely connected with tumorigenesis as well as disease progression and affects the efficacy of platinum-based drugs. Exploring biomarkers related to FAM in bladder cancer (BLCA) is essential to improve cancer prognosis. Methods: High-throughput sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) were bioinformatically resolved to identify molecular subtypes of fatty acid metabolic profiles in BLCA using coherent clustering analysis. Based on fatty acid metabolic profile, a prognostic model was created using COX and LASSO COX models. CIBERSORT, Estimation of STromal and Immune cells in MAlignant Tumours using Expression (ESTIMATE), MCP-Count, and single sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA) were used to assess the differences in tumor microenvironment (TME) among different molecular subtypes, prognostic groups. Kaplan-Meier (K-M) survival curve was plotted to assess patients' prognosis. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and the clinical prognostic value of prognostic models was evaluated by the Nomogram. Results: Three molecular subtypes (FAMC1, FAMC2, FAMC3) of fatty acid metabolic patterns were determined. FAMC1 showed significant prognostic advantage with immunoreactivity. Five key prognostic FAMGs were identified and RiskScore was developed. We found that patients with low RiskScore showed significantly better immune microenvironment status, survival and response to immunotherapy. Similarly, both Nomogram and RiskScore demonstrated excellent prognostic value. Conclusions: In conclusion, our study showed that the RiskScore was closely related to the clinical traits of BLCA patients. The RiskScore may provide essential clinical guidance for predicting prognosis and treatment response in bladder cancer.
