Does the introduction of pre-operative cardiopulmonary exercise testing in radical cystectomy delay or alter surgical care?
Article in BJUI compass, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Objectives: To assess if the introduction of routine pre-operative cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in radical cystectomy has delayed surgical intervention. Materials and Methods: A prospective database of patients undergoing radical cystectomy in our local health network was maintained. A retrospective analysis of two years (2018-2020) included 38 patients. Of these, 15 patients had CPET pre-operatively, and a direct comparison was performed. Results: The mean time from diagnosis to cystectomy was 95 days in patients who did not have CPET compared to 110 days for those who did ( Conclusion: CPET is a valuable risk evaluation tool. This study suggested that CPET contributed to a minor non-significant delay to surgery, however was associated with reduced length of stay and readmission rates, and was a valuable risk evaluation tool. We found that CPET AT <11 ml/kg/min is associated with higher rates of patient morbidity and perioperative mortality.
