Factors Impacting the Overall Survival of Patients Irradiated for Invasive Carcinoma of the Urinary Bladder.
Article in In vivo (Athens, Greece). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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/
aimTo contribute to personalisation of treatment for patients with carcinoma of the urinary bladder, 11 factors were analyzed for survival. PATIENTS AND
methodsData from 61 patients receiving definitive irradiation for carcinoma of the urinary bladder were retrospectively evaluated, namely gender, age, T-stage, N-stage, grading, pack years, smoking during irradiation, upfront transurethral resection of the bladder tumour (TURBT), equivalent dose in 2-Gy fractions (EQD2), chemotherapy and Karnofsky performance score (KPS).
resultsOn univariate analysis, female gender (p=0.007), <40 pack years (p=0.029), not smoking during irradiation (p=0.037), TURBT (p=0.007) and KPS >70 (p<0.001) led to improved survival; EQD2 >55 Gy showed a trend (p=0.065) for such association. On Cox regression, gender [risk ratio (RR)=2.81; p=0.039], TURBT (RR=4.44; p=0.033) and KPS (RR=3.45; p=0.018) remained significant.
conclusionThis study identified independent predictors of survival in patients irradiated for carcinoma of the urinary bladder and contributes to creation of personalised treatment programs.
