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

In Japanese patients with non-muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder, the impact of body mass index (BMI) on recurrence following transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is unclear. The present study retrospectively examined data collected from 50 patients diagnosed with primary urothelial carcinoma of the bladder (pTa, pTis, and pT1) who had previously undergone TURBT surgery. Two BMI cut-off points for predicting disease recurrence were evaluated: i) A threshold generated through receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis; ii) the World Health Organization BMI index (24 kg/m
