Clinical application and efficacy analysis of partial cystectomy combined with intravesical chemotherapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Article in BMC urology, 2023. 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
objectivesComparing the long-term tumor control results of partial cystectomy(PC)and radical cystectomy(RC)in the treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and to explore the feasible method of bladder preservation therapy (BPT)in patients with MIBC.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 102 patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer in our hospital between January 2012 and December 2018, of whom 32 cases in the partial cystectomy group and 70 cases in the radical cystectomy group. We performed a comparative analysis of patient general information, perioperative-related indicators and postoperative follow-up data, comparing OS, PFS, and DSS at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years in both groups, and comparing tumour recurrence and metastasis in postoperative patients.
resultsAll the 102 cases in this study were successfully completed. Partial cystectomy group and Radical cystectomy group median operating time (169.50(130.00 ~ 225.25) min and 420.00(343.75 ~ 483.75) min, p < 0.001), median intraoperative blood loss was (100(50 ~ 100)ml and 400(200 ~ 1000)ml, p < 0.001), median perioperative blood transfusion volume (0(0 ~ 0)ml and 600(150.00 ~ 906.25)ml, p < 0.001), median total hospital stay (18(14.25 ~ 20.00) and 24.5(20.00 ~ 34.25) days, p < 0.001), median preoperative preparation time (7(4.25 ~ 8.00) and 10(8.00 ~ 13.00) days, p < 0.001), median postoperative hospital stay (9(8.00 ~ 13.50) and 14(11.00 ~ 21.25) days, p < 0.001), the incidence of perioperative blood transfusion was (15.6% and 75.7%, p < 0.001), the incidence of surgical complications was(28.1%(9/32) and 50.0%(35/70), p = 0.033), average hospitalization cost ((26435.76 ± 9877.82) yuan and (58464.36 ± 19753.13) yuan, p < 0.001), the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). Perioperative mortality (0 vs. 2.9%(2/70), p = 1), and OS at 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 years after surgery were (80.0%, 59.8%, 56.1%, 51.0%, 44.6% vs. 76.5%, 67.4%, 64.9%, 57.9%, 52.6%, p = 0.524), PFS (68.2%, 64.6%, 60.3%, 54.8%, 54.8% vs. 82.7%, 78.3%, 75.4%, 67.3%, 62.1%, p = 0.259). DSS (89.9%, 72.4%, 68.6%, 68.6%, 62.4% vs. 87.3%, 83.4%, 80.9%, 73.6%, 68.0%, p = 0.424), and the incidence of tumor recurrence or metastasis was (40.0%(12/30) vs. 25.4%(16/63), p = 0.151), the differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05).
conclusionIn patients with limited solitary T2N0M0 and T3N0M0 muscle-invasive bladder cancer, partial cystectomy plus bladder instillations treatment can achieve comparable tumour control to radical cystectomy. However, patients in the PC group have significant advantages in terms of operative time, intraoperative bleeding, intraoperative and postoperative blood transfusion, preoperative preparation time, total hospital stay, postoperative recovery time, operative costs and operative complications. This option may be considered for such patients with a need for bladder preservation.
