Influence of the Body Mass Index and its Effect on Tumor Characteristics and Survival among a Population with Access to Surgical Management of Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma.
Article in Current urology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo examine the association between the body mass index (BMI) and the risk of survival, and to evaluate whether tumor characteristics differ by BMI in patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) managed by surgery.
methodsA clinical series on 876 patients with localized UTUC following nephroureterectomy with a bladder cuff, with data from Osaka Medical College registry (discovery cohort) and the Nagoya group (validation cohort) was examined. In addition to analyzing the overall survival and cancer-specific survival (CSS), the survival impact adjusted by pathological variables was also assessed by the BMI group.
resultsThe percentage of high risk features including positive lymphovascular invasion was doubled in the discovery cohort compared to the validation cohort. The group of BMI ≥ 25 kg/m
conclusionsWe found a clinically relevant signature for high risk patients with BMI grouping. Further research is necessary on whether tailoring recommendations for weight and nutrition management to tumor characteristics will improve outcomes.
