The impact of female gender on bladder cancer-specific death risk after radical cystectomy: a meta-analysis of 27,912 patients.

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
objectiveTo perform a first meta-analysis on the association between female gender and cancer-specific death risk after radical cystectomy. MATERIALS AND
methodsA comprehensive literature search of the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases was conducted for relevant studies published till November 11, 2014. The meta-analysis was performed by estimating the hazard ratios (HRs) and confidence intervals (CIs) through a random-effect approach.
resultsA total of 17 studies were included in the meta-analysis with a total population of 27,912 patients. Female gender was associated with a worse survival outcome (pooled HR 1.20; 95 % CI 1.09-1.32) compared with male gender after radical cystectomy. Subgroup analysis found the correlation was significant in North American and European studies (HR 1.17, 95 % CI 1.02-1.32 and HR 1.34, 95 % CI 1.19-1.51, respectively) and studies from larger size of samples (HR 1.24, 95 % CI 1.11-1.38). We also found studies adjusted for the key elements (T stage, N stage and grade) obtained positive correlation (HR 1.21, 95 % CI 1.09-1.35).
conclusionsFemale demonstrated worse survival outcomes than male after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer. The adoption of more intense cares for female patients was suggested after radical cystectomy.
