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

Urinary cytology and white light endoscopy have been the gold standard for initial diagnosis of bladder cancer for decades. Furthermore the use of imaging techniques, such as ultrasound or CT scanning can be necessary in certain cases. This article gives an overview on standard diagnostic techniques and introduces new optical diagnostic technologies, such as Raman spectroscopy, optical coherence tomography, narrow band imaging and confocal laser microscopy, which could play a role in the diagnosis of bladder cancer in the future. Furthermore the current indications for photodynamic diagnoses are discussed.
