Clinical and pathological predictors of persistent T1 HG at second resection.
Article in Urologia, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundT1 high-grade (HG) non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) has a significant risk of recurrence and progression, and the European Association of Urology recommends a second transurethral resection of the bladder (ReTUR). Stage at ReTUR has been shown to be a reliable predictor of survival, therefore, we sought to assess clinical and pathological predictors associated with the persistence of T1 at ReTUR in our retrospective multicentric cohort.
methodsThis is a retrospective multicentric study of T1 HG patients at transurethral resection of the bladder (TURB) who underwent subsequent ReTUR. All histological samples were sub-classified according to Rete Oncologica Lombarda (ROL) T1 sub-staging system.
resultsOne hundred and sixty-six patients were enrolled. Forty-four (26.5%) had T1 HG tumor at ReTUR while 93 (56%) had residual tumor of any stage. Lesion size was significantly greater in T1 HG patients at ReTUR, as well as the prevalence of multifocality. The multivariable logistic regression model showed lesion dimension and multifocality as predictors of T1 HG at ReTUR, after adjusting for significant covariables (CIS and detrusor muscle presence). ROL sub-staging system was not a significant predictor, but ROL2 prevalence was higher in the T1 HG at ReTUR group.
conclusionsLesion size and multifocality were independent predictors of T1 HG persistence at ReTUR, and patients at risk should be promptly identified and treated accordingly. Our results could help physicians make patient-tailored decisions by identifying those most likely to benefit from a second resection.
