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

backgroundNon-muscle-invasive bladder cancer with a low-grade differentiation represents a special challenge.

methodAlthough urine cytology is still the most reliable and effective urine-based marker and there are no substantial novel aspects in this field, photodynamic diagnostics have the most important value in transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) of high-grade T1 tumors and new techniques, such as hybrid knife TURB are coming up. The histopathological assessment of T1 tumors can be supplemented by a description of the exact penetration depth, so-called substaging and the invasion pattern.

resultsIntravesicle therapy with Bacillus Calmette-Guèrin (BCG) represents the gold standard and a pillar of bladder-preserving therapy and should be planned as maintenance therapy for at least 1 year. With the right risk constellation cystectomy is a safe and proven concept for high-grade bladder cancer, even without proof of muscle invasion.
