Extreme body mass index is associated with poor survival outcomes after radical cystectomy: a retrospective cohort study in a Chinese population.
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. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundBody mass index (BMI) has been evidenced to be a significant prognostic factor in multiple cancers. This retrospective study aimed to investigate the association between BMI and survival outcomes after radical cystectomy (RC) in patients with bladder cancer (BCa).
methodsClinical and pathological parameters of patients who were diagnosed with BCa and received RC between 2010 and 2018 were collected. The associations between BMI at surgery and clinicopathological features were examined. The prognostic value of BCa for overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) was examined using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression models.
resultsAmong the 217 patients enrolled in this study, 13 (6.0%), 121 (55.8%), 60 (27.6%), and 23 (10.6%) had a BMI value of <18.5 kg/m
conclusionsBeing underweight or obese is associated with a poor prognosis in patients with BCa undergoing RC. For patients who are preparing to undergo RC for BCa, controlling the BMI index through diet or exercise before surgery may contribute to the surgical curative effect and an improved prognosis.
