A systematic review and meta-analysis of radical cystectomy in the treatment of muscular invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).
Article in Translational andrology and 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
backgroundA meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the curative effect of radical cystectomy in the treatment of muscular invasive bladder cancer (MIBC).
methodsChinese and English databases were searched using free combinations of the terms "bladder cancer," "radical cystectomy," "muscle invasive bladder cancer," and "bladder preservation." Review Manager 5.3 software was used for the meta-analysis.
resultsA total of 12 articles were included in the meta-analysis, most of which had low-bias risk and were of medium and high quality. A funnel chart showed that the circles of some studies were basically symmetrical with the midline, suggesting that the research accuracy was high, the publications were not biased, and the final conclusions were credible. Twelve articles analyzed patients' 5-year survival rate in randomized controlled trials (RCTs). In these RCTs, the experimental group (expt group) comprised 775 cases and the control group (ctrl group) comprised 766 cases. A heterogeneity test using the fixed-effects model (FEM) showed Chi DISCUSSION: Our meta-analysis confirmed that radical cystectomy is effective in the treatment of MIBC and is worthy of clinical promotion.
