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

introductionTransitional cell carcinoma recurrence within an intestinal urinary diversion (TCCUD) after radical cystectomy (RC) is a rare condition with unknown origin, prognosis and treatment. The aim of this study was to describe treatment options and oncologic outcomes of this understudied site of recurrence in a multi-institutional case series. MATERIAL AND

methodsTCCUD relapse cases after RC were investigated in a retrospective, multi-institutional study. Surgical approach and adjuvant chemotherapy were discussed. Early and late complications were described according to the Clavien-Dindo classification. Kaplan-Meier method was used to assess progression-free and cancer-specific survival.

resultsA total of 19 patients were selected. The most common presentation was gross hematuria. The median interval between RC and TCCUD was 51.2 months. Fifteen patients (78.9%) underwent surgical excision, and two underwent concomitant radical nephroureterectomy. In 12 (63.1%) cases the site of TCCUD was the uretero-ileal anastomosis. Tumor invading the muscularis of the intestinal diversion was described in 10 (52.6%) cases. Surgical complications occurred in 7/15 (46.6%) patients, of these two with Clavien-Dindo Grade III. Four patients (21.0%) underwent adjuvant chemotherapy and two (10.5%) both chemotherapy and radiation therapy. During follow-up 15 patients (78.9%) presented with other sites of recurrence, with lymph nodes (21.0%) and liver (15.7%) being the most common localizations. Recurrence free and overall survival rates were 36.8% and 15.8%, and 56.5% and 24.2%, respectively at 12 and 18 months.

conclusionsMost patients with TCCUD have invasive disease and a substantial percentage experience upper tract cancer during their disease course. TCCUD is often the herald of advanced disease and systemic progression, with poor progression-free and overall survival rates.
