Preoperative Anemia as a Simple Prognostic Factor in Patients with Urinary Bladder Cancer.
Article in Medical science monitor : international medical journal of experimental and clinical research, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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 To evaluate the incidence of preoperative anemia and its prognostic role in patients with urinary bladder cancer (BC). MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 317 patients diagnosed with BC were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study. Univariate and multivariate analysis was used to identify independent prognostic factors and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was applied to examine the influence of anemia on survival. RESULTS 109 patients (34.4%) were anemic with a median preoperative hemoglobin of 114 g/L (interquartile range 104 to 122.5). After a median of 6 years follow-up (range: 2 to 8 years), the median recurrence-free survival (RFS), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) in anemic patients were significantly lower than non-anemic patients (p≤0.001). Multivariate Cox analysis indicated that anemia remained an independent predictor of RFS and OS (p=0.010, 0.007). CONCLUSIONS Anemic patients with BC are likely to have a shorter RFS and OS than non-anemic patients, and anemia is an independent predictor of RFS and OS.
