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

While pelvic lymphadenectomy during radical cystectomy for bladder cancer is a well-established standard of care, the same does not hold true for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Indeed, a template-based lymphadenectomy is rarely, if ever, performed in conjunction with radical nephroureterectomy at most centres across the globe. While multiple studies have explored the staging and therapeutic role of lymphadenectomy in cases of UTUC, there remain large gaps in our understanding of the indications, extent and safety of this procedure as an adjunct to nephroureterectomy. This article elucidates the current knowledge on outcomes, benefits and complications of template-based lymphadenectomy during radical nephroureterectomy for UTUC. We also explore the current evidence-based guidelines on this controversial topic.
