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

purpose of reviewThis review examines both trimodality therapy (TMT) in the definitive management of bladder cancer as well as the use of adjuvant radiotherapy for bladder cancer with a specific focus on publications from the last 2 years. RECENT

findingsTMT is an effective management strategy for muscle invasive bladder cancer with outcomes similar to radical cystectomy. Effectiveness of this strategy exists in variant histologies and can be personalized with use of biomarkers. There is a role for adjuvant radiotherapy in locally advanced bladder cancer, especially in the age of improved imaging and modern radiotherapy techniques. SUMMARY: This review should provide the reader data necessary to support use of TMT and adjuvant radiation therapy in their clinic.
