Patient awareness of smoking as a risk factor for bladder cancer.
Article in International urology and nephrology, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
introductionData on general population's and bladder cancer patients' perception of smoking as a risk factor for bladder cancer are limited. To determine urological patients' awareness of smoking as a risk factor for bladder cancer.
methodsThis prospective observational study included 202 consecutive urological inpatients, using a structured questionnaire. We evaluated urological patients' awareness of smoking as a risk factor for bladder cancer and other smoking-related pathologies. Smoker-bladder cancer patients were asked whether they believed that smoking was related to their present bladder problem, whether their treating urologist had ever advised them on the same, and whether they intended to quit.
resultsOnly 118 of 202 patients (58.4%) stated that they were aware of smoking as a risk factor for bladder cancer, as apposed to 94.6% for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, 91.6% for heart and vascular problems, and 92.1%, for lung cancer. Perception was unrelated to age, gender, smoking habits, or history of heart or chronic lung disease. Of current smokers/TCC patients, 56.4% believed that smoking is related to their problem and 61.5% intended to quit. The majority (84.6%) had been already warned by their attending physicians.
conclusionsUrological patients' awareness of smoking as a risk factor for bladder cancer is lower than that for other smoking-related entities. The role of the urologist should not be restricted only to diagnosis and treatment, but should also include counseling patients on the need for radical changes of their life style.
