Impact of surgical wait time on oncologic outcomes in upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma.
Article in Journal of surgical oncology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 AND
objectivesTo assess the effect of surgical wait time on the oncologic outcomes of patients with upper urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC), particularly in the ureter.
methodsUsing an optimal surgical wait time cutoff value of 30.5 days, we allocated patients to an early group or a late group. Cancer specific survival (CSS) and local/distant recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Factors influencing CSS and RFS after radical surgery were identified using Cox proportional hazards regression models. Subgroup analysis was performed on ureteral urothelial carcinoma using the same methods.
resultsOf the 138 UTUC patients, CSS and RFS were not significantly different between the two groups. However, subgroup analysis of the 80 patients with ureteral urothelial carcinoma showed that CSS and RFS were significantly higher in the early subgroup, and multivariate analysis showed that a surgical wait time of >1 month was an independent prognostic factor of CSS and RFS in ureteral urothelial carcinoma (P = 0.04 and P < 0.001).
conclusionsA surgical wait time of >1 month in ureteral urothelial carcinoma was found to be an independent prognostic factor of disease recurrence and cancer-specific mortality.
