Article in European radiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesInitial pelvic lymph node (LN) staging is pivotal for treatment planification in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), but [
methodsConsecutive patients with localized MIBC who performed preoperative [
resultsThe overall prevalence of pelvic LN involvement was 24% (n = 41/173). In the training set, the top 3 features were derived from pelvic LNs (SUVmax of the most intense LN, and product of diameters of the largest LN) and primary bladder tumor (product of diameters). In the validation set, diagnostic performance did not differ significantly between the combination of criteria (AUC = 0.59 95%CI [0.43-0.73]) and the consensus of experts (AUC = 0.64 95%CI [0.48-0.78], p = 0.54). The interrater agreement was equally good with Κ = 0.66 for both.
