Assessment of health-related quality of life of male patients with ileal orthotopic neobladder compared to cutaneous ureterostomy.
Article in Central European journal of urology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
introductionThe aim of this article was to compare patients' health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) outcomes between ileal orthotopic neobladder (IONB) and standard bilateral cutaneous ureterostomy (CU) using validated diversion-specific HR-QoL questionnaires. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis study utilized a retrospective cohort design, including all male patients who underwent open radical cystectomy with either IONB or CU from January 2010 until December 2017. In total, 69 and 57 male patients with a minimum of 12 months of follow-up were included in each group respectively, after applying the following exclusion criteria: female, pre- and postoperative radio- and chemotherapy and palliative surgery. For every patient, HR-QoL was evaluated using the European Association of Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Core (EORTC-QLQ-C30) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy for patients undergoing radical cystectomy (FACT-Bl-Cys) validated questionnaires.
resultsIn multivariable analysis, the type of the urinary diversion, and the occurrence of early and late postoperative complications were independently associated with the change of scores of HR-QoL domains. When comparing the 2 surgical methods (IONB vs. CU), after adjusting for confounders, such EORTC-QLQ-C30 domains as physical functioning (66.5 vs. 57.9, p = 0.011) and global health status (58.1 vs. 42.6, p <0.001) were superior in the IONB arm which was statistically significant. Similarly, functional health (15.3 vs. 11.9, p <0.001) and total score (110.1 vs. 101.7, p = 0.009) from the FACT-Bl-Cys questionnaire were superior in the IONB arm.
conclusionsIn our study, patients with IONB possessed statistically significant, better scores of HR-QoL domains assessed with EORTC-QLQ-C30 and FACT-Bl-Cys questionnaires compared to those with CU. The occurrence of early major and late complications negatively affected patients' HR-QOL.
