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
introductionIt has been reported that many methods prevent recurrence after transurethral resection of bladder tumour (TURBT) for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), but it has rarely been reported that overnight continuous saline irrigation is effective in preventing recurrence. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of overnight continuous saline irrigation in preventing recurrence after TURBT.
methodsWe retrospectively studied patients with NMIBC who underwent TURBT from January 2010 to May 2015 at our institution. Patients who underwent cystoscopy every 12 weeks during the first year after surgery were included. Patients with cancer stage ≥pT2, lymph node metastasis, or distant metastasis were excluded. The overnight continuous saline irrigation (OCSI) group and the no irrigation group were compared and analyzed.
resultsA total of 332 patients were included in the study. There were no differences in the basic characteristics of the patients between the two groups. In the OCSI group, the recurrence-free survival rate was higher than that in the no irrigation group, indicating that there was a significant difference between the two groups (p=0.032).
conclusionsAfter TURBT surgery, OCSI may help prevent early recurrence of NMIBC.
