Retrospective analysis of bladder cancer morphology and depth of invasion under cystoscopy.
Article in BMC urology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe pathological diagnosis of bladder cancer workup relies on cystoscopy, however, due to sampling restriction, the depth of local invasion is often understaged.
methodsA total of 386 patients with bladder urothelial carcinoma underwent follow-up. The data collected included age, sex, tumor size, surgical options, histologic grade, invasive depth, lymph node metastasis, and oncological outcomes, and the patients were divided into coral-like and crumb-like groups. These data were analyzed with the chi-square test, binary logistic regression, Kaplan-Meier analysis, univariable and multivariable logistic regression and Spearman correlation test.
resultsBladder tumor morphology was moderately correlated with invasion depth (ρ = 0.492, p < 0.001; Spearman correlation), which was associated with invasion status (HR = 8.27; 95% CI 4.3-15.79, p < 0.001). Tumor morphology was not an independent factor for OS but was associated with PFS. Outer invasion depth was an independent factor that was significantly associated with inferior OS and PFS.
conclusionsTumor morphology (coral-like and crumb-like) under cystoscopy was related to the depth of invasion. The outer invasive depth of BC was an independent factor that was significantly associated with inferior OS and PFS.
