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

introductionIn this paper, current guidelines regarding diagnostic and staging modalities of urothelial cancer of the bladder are summarized and an overview of endoscopic, imaging, and molecular methods currently being tested are outlined.

methodsRelevant passages from current guidelines and recent literature as well as to a certain extent our own research are examined.

resultsOver the last decade, imaging mainly in the form of photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) has undergone further development and found its way into several guidelines. PDD-based transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) proved to have a long-term effect regarding recurrence rate, progression and reduction of cystectomy in some patients. More light-filtering techniques and improvements in the screen resolution are currently being clinically tested. Molecular substaging using combinations of immunohistochemical biomarkers has the potential to change the clinical management of advanced urothelial cancer.

conclusionNew visualization techniques are likely to improve recurrence intervals and prognosis of bladder cancer. Molecular substaging will revolutionize prognostic assessment and therapeutic strategies of urothelial cancer.
