Dysuria therapeutic agents as an independent prognostic factor for the primary recurrence of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer: a propensity score matching study.

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
objectiveTo investigate if the use of therapeutic agents for dysuria is a risk factor for the primary recurrence of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).
methodsFirst, patients with NMIBC were divided into two groups: the non-recurrence group and the recurrence group. Patient characteristics were compared between both groups. The risk factors of recurrence that were statistically different between the two groups were identified by multivariate analysis. Second, we divided the patients into risk and non-risk groups, and differences in the recurrence-free survival (RFS) between the two groups were analyzed before and after propensity score matching (PSM).
resultsA total of 162 patients were included, with 84 patients in the non-recurrence group and 78 patients in the recurrence group. In the multivariate analysis, the intake of dysuria agents and bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) therapy were independent factors. The RFS results in terms of the intake of dysuria agents were statistically significant before and after PSM analysis, but no factors were significantly different between the BCG and non-BCG groups after PSM.
conclusionsTherapeutic agents for dysuria might be at an independent risk factor for NMIBC recurrence. This trial is registered with the UMIN Clinical Trials Registry under the number UMIN000036097 (https://upload.umin.ac.jp/cgi-open-bin/ctr/ctr_view.cgi?recptno = R000041122).
