Prognostic Significance and Immune Landscape of an Efferocytosis-Related Gene Signature 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
Bladder cancer poses a significant global health challenge, underscoring the imperative for precise prognostic instruments to advance patient care. Against the backdrop of efferocytosis's increasingly recognized role in cancer, this research endeavors to develop and authenticate a prognostic signature intricately linked to efferocytosis in bladder cancer. LASSO-COX regression analysis crafted an efferocytosis-related genes risk prognostic model, followed by the construction of a column chart. External validation sets confirmed the predictive accuracy of both the model and chart. Clinical, tumor microenvironment, drug sensitivity, and immunotherapy analyses were employed to comprehensively assess efferocytosis-related scores. The expression of TGFB3 key genes was validated via RT-PCR and western blotting. Further validation included Transwell, Wound healing, Colony formation, and EDU assays. We formulated and validated an efferocytosis-related genes risk model in bladder cancer, comprising 13 core genes. The risk model demonstrated autonomous prognostic significance in both univariate and multivariate Cox analyses. Following the multivariate analysis, we devised a nomogram. Moreover, by utilizing individual risk scores derived from this risk model, we successfully stratified patients into two discernible risk cohorts, unveiling noteworthy variances in immune infiltration profiles and responsiveness to immunotherapy. Notably, the model's key gene TGFB3 was validated through comprehensive experimental investigations, including Transwell assays for migration and invasion and Wound healing assays for motility on the T24 and BIU cell lines. This study has furnished innovative perspectives on an efferocytosis-related prognostic signature, elucidating the prognosis and immune milieu intricacies in patients with bladder cancer.
