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

The role of squamous differentiation in pT1 bladder tumors in the response to intravesical chemotherapy was unknown. We performed a retrospective analysis of 213 pT1 bladder urothelial carcinoma patients with squamous differentiation (group1), the remaining 213 pT1 pure urothelial carcinoma served as controls (group2). All cases were treated with transurethral resection of bladder tumor and subsequent intravesical chemotherapy. Within a five-year period, the tumor recurrence rate was 75.1% (160/213) in group 1 and 64.3% (137/213) in group 2. Tumor grade (HR = 2.926,
