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

introductionRadical cystectomy is a highly morbid procedure, with 30-day perioperative complication rates approaching 50%. Our objective was to determine the effect of patients' body mass index (BMI) on perioperative outcomes following radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.

methodsWe identified 3930 eligible patients who underwent radical cystectomy for non-metastatic bladder cancer using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. The primary exposure was preoperative BMI, categorically operationalized in four strata according to the World Health Organization criteria: <18.5 kg/m

resultsBMI was significantly associated with rates of major complications (p=0.003): major complications were experienced by 17.0% of patients with BMI <18.5 kg/m

conclusionsPatients who are outside of a normal BMI range are more likely to experience major complications following radical cystectomy for bladder cancer.
