Antioxidant status in patients with bladder cancer regarding cancer stage and grade.
Article in Asian journal of urology, 2023. 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
Objective: The imbalance of antioxidants and pro-oxidants plays a crucial role in the carcinogenesis of bladder cancer (BC). This study aimed to evaluate serum antioxidant status in patients with BC and determine its potential use in the diagnosis and progression potential considerations following histopathological assessment. Methods: A cross-sectional study included 90 patients with BC, divided into Ta, T1, and T2-T4 stage subgroups, and according to cancer progression potential, into low-grade (LG) and high-grade (HG) subgroups. The control group (CG) included 30 healthy volunteers. Antioxidant status was determined using the spectrophotometric method and standard laboratory tests. Results: Serum superoxide dismutase activity was significantly higher in BC patients regarding cancer stage in comparison to the CG ( Conclusion: More invasive stages of BC with greater progression potential are associated with an increase in enzymatic antioxidant activity and a decrease in non-enzymatic antioxidant capacity. It may suggest a possible role of antioxidants in the prediction and monitoring of illness trajectory.
