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

To determine genome-wide transcriptional coverage of well-characterized genes, gene candidates, and splice variants associated with invasive process on bladder carcinogenesis (BC), we investigated the whole-genome gene expression profile of high-grade Turkish BC patients. We collected high-grade bladder tumours (n = 12) and paired standard tissue samples (n = 12). To find differentially expressed genes related to bladder cancer’s metastatic pattern, we performed the human whole-genome expression profiling through the Illumina Human HT-12 Expression Beadchip system. Ingenuity Pathway Systems (IPA), i-Pathway Guide and Cytoscape software were used to determine statistically significant genes, networks, biological pathways between tumour and control groups. Cyclin A2 (CCNA2), CDC20, CDC45, MMP1, MMP3, MMP9, MMP10, STAT1, STAT2, TNFRSF1A, TNFSF10, and TUBB3 were significantly upregulated in bladder cancer cases. We showed that biological reactions, including the degradation of collagen and extracellular matrix and matrix metalloproteinases activation reactions, were found the most statistically significant pathways in BC. We also determined that inflammation and cytokine signalling could be related to the progression of bladder carcinogenesis. The genes differentially expressed could be molecular indicators for early prediction of bladder carcinogenesis.
