The optimal management of variant histology in muscle invasive bladder cancer.
Review in Translational andrology and urology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Bladder cancer is a heterogenous disease that is associated with tangible mortality in muscle invasive disease. The WHO 2016 classification of urothelial tumours reflects the contemporary approach towards histological variants in bladder cancer, including variants of urothelial carcinoma (UC) and non-urothelial variants. This review focuses on variant histology in UC, and discusses the importance of accurate histological diagnosis, and subsequent risk stratification and therapeutic decision making based on proper variant recognition. Most urothelial variants are associated with poorer outcomes compared to conventional UC, although some perform reasonably better. However, high quality evidence detailing optimal treatment and survival outcomes are still lacking in literature, due to the rarity of these cases.
