Transurethral en bloc resection with monopolar current for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer based on TNM system.

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
backgroundTo evaluate the surgical safety and quality of transurethral en bloc resection with monopolar current for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) based on the tumour, node, metastasis (TNM) classification system, and report the midterm oncological outcome.
methodsFrom October 2015 to June 2017, en bloc resection of bladder tumor (ERBT) and transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) were performed in 96 and 87 patients clinically diagnosed with NMIBC in the prospective case-control trial, respectively. Operative details, intraoperative and postoperative complications regarded as safety outcomes were documented. The quality of ERBT was judged by the histopathological examination of tumor specimens from initial resection and second TURBT, random bladder biopsy and follow-up recurrence rate.
resultsOperative time, obturator nerve reflex, irrigation and catheterization time were similar in the two groups. Bladder perforation was occurred in 2 patients during ERBT and 9 patients during TURBT (2/96
conclusionsERBT based on TNM system is a safe and feasible technique to treat patients with NMIBC. Besides, ERBT may reduce the proportion of bladder perforation and residual tumor during initial resection.
