Estimating the impact of body mass index on bladder cancer risk: Stratification by smoking status.
Article in Scientific reports, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 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
We estimated the impact of obesity on bladder cancer with stratification by smoking status using nationally representative data on the Korean population from the National Health Insurance System (NHIS). Of the 45,850,458 people who underwent at last one health examination from 2009 to 2012, 23,378,895 without bladder cancer were followed from the January 2009 to the December 2015. First, the HR for bladder cancer was lowest in people with a BMI < 18.5 (HR = 0.92) and highest for those with BMI ≥ 30 (HR = 1.17) in multiple Cox regression analyses. The positive association between bladder cancer and BMI showed an increasing trend beyond the reference BMI. Second, an analysis of HR for bladder cancer stratified by obesity across smoking status strata showed a significant trend of increasing HR for bladder cancer across obesity and smoking status in multivariate-adjusted models. Conclusively, this population-based study showed that increasing BMI was a risk factor for bladder cancer independent of confounding variables. When stratified by smoking status, there was still a positive association between bladder cancer and BMI (P for trend < 0.01).
