Perioperative outcomes of transurethral resection for t1 bladder tumors: quality evaluation based on patient, tumor and surgeon criteria.
Article in World journal of urology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
introductionTransurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is a fundamental but challenging step in the diagnosis and treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). The first- and second-look TURBT are central in the management of T1 tumors. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed all patients treated with TURBT for T1 urothelial cell carcinoma (UCC) of the bladder in one academic institution between 2007 and 2017. Quality of TURBT was evaluated based on the presence/absence of muscle on pathology report, the presence/absence of residual tumor on the second look and the occurrence of complications. Patient-, surgeon- and tumor-related factors were investigated for their association with TURBT quality.
results283 patients were included. Second-look resection was performed after a mean delay of 54 days. Muscle was observed in 85.9% of the samples on the first TURBT. On the second-look resection, UCC was observed in 52.3% of the samples. 38 complications were reported after the first TURBT (13.4%). Surgeon's experience was the only factor significantly associated with occurrence of post-operative complications (OR = 0.40; p = 0.04). Location of the tumor at the bottom of the bladder was a risk factor for not finding muscle at pathological analysis (OR = 0.20; p = 0.06). Male gender, multiplicity and tumor located at the bottom of the bladder were significantly associated with residual disease on reTURBT. In multivariate analysis, only male gender (OR = 4.71; p = 0.02) and tumor multiplicity remained significant (OR for unique tumor = 0.36; p = 0.02).
conclusionTURBT is a challenging procedure and surgeon's experience is crucial in reducing the rate of post-operative complications. Technical difficulties resulting from patient's gender, tumor location or number of tumors may be as important as oncological factors in deciding whether or not to perform a second-look resection.
