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

objectiveThis study aimed to determine whether robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) can accelerate recovery, improve pelvic lymph node dissection effects, and reduce serum tumor marker tumor specific growth factor (TSGF) levels in patients with bladder cancer.

methodsA total of 96 patients with bladder cancer admitted to our hospital were recruited as the research participants. Among them, 43 patients who adopted radical cystectomy were enrolled in the control group (CG), and 53 patients treated with RARC were included in the research group (RG). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative bowel recovery time, gastrointestinal function recovery, complication rate, clinical efficacy, changes of TSGF levels before and after operation, postoperative satisfaction and quality of life were observed.

resultsCompared with the CG, patients in the RG experienced longer operation times (P<0.05), less intraoperative blood loss (P<0.05), and faster time to bowel recovery, anal exhaust, and anal defecation (P<0.05); moreover, the RG had a lower incidence rate of complications (P=0.025) and TSGF levels (P<0.05), higher effective cure rate (P=0.023) and satisfaction degree (P=0.048), as well as superior quality of life scores in six dimensions (P<0.05).

conclusionThe application of RARC can accelerate the recovery of patients with bladder cancer, improve the pelvic lymph node dissection effects, and reduce the serum levels of tumor marker TSGF.
