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

The purpose of this review is to present the current status of lymph node dissection (LND) during radical cystectomy in patients with bladder cancer (BCa). Despite the growing body of evidence of LND utility at the time of radical cystectomy (RC) in high-risk nonmuscle-invasive and muscle-invasive BCa (MIBC), therapeutic and prognostic value and optimal extent of LND remain unsolved issues. Recently published results of the first prospective, a randomized trial assessing the therapeutic benefit of extended versus limited LND during RC, failed to demonstrate survival improvement with the extended template. Although LND is the most accurate staging procedure, the direct therapeutic effect is still not evident from the current literature, limiting the possibility of establishing clear recommendations. This indicates the need for robust and adequately powered clinical trials.
