Efficacy and safety of intra-arterial chemotherapy combined with intravesical chemotherapy for high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer: A protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundNon-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is the most common bladder cancer. Many studies have reported that intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) combined with intravesical chemotherapy (IVC) could effectively reduce the recurrence rate of NMIBC. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of IAC combined with IVC for patients with high-risk NMIBC.
methodsPubMed, Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and 4 Chinese databases will be searched for eligible studies published without language restrictions from their inception up August 31, 2019. Subgroup analysis will be mainly explored in study design, types of chemotherapy drugs, and sample size. Cochrane Collaboration Risk of bias Tool will be applied in evaluating the quality of enrolled articles. Statistical analysis will be carried out by the Stata version 14.0 software.
resultsThe primary outcome is recurrence-free survival (RFS). The secondary outcomes include overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), adverse reactions and toxicity grade coded by common toxicity criteria for adverse events.
conclusionThe findings of this study will provide latest evidence to verify whether IAC combined with IVC is more effective and safer than IVC alone for patients with high-risk NMIBC. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42019146847.
