Consultation on UTUC II Stockholm 2022: diagnostics, prognostication, and follow-up-where are we today?
Review in World journal of urology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeTo summarise the current knowledge regarding diagnostics, prognostication and follow-up in upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).
methodsA scoping review combined with expert opinion was applied to provide an overview of the current research field. Based on the published literature and the experts' own experience and opinions, consensus was reached through presentations and discussions at the meeting Consultation on UTUC II in Stockholm 2022.
resultsThe strongest prognostic factors in UTUC are tumour grade and stage. They are correlated, and grade is used for indirect staging. The diagnostic examinations should include multiphase computed tomography urography (CTU) with corticomedullary phase, and urethrocystoscopy with cytology. If there is no clear diagnosis for clinical decision-making, ureterorenoscopy (URS) with focal cytology and biopsies should be performed. Both WHO classification systems (1973/1999 and 2004/2016) should be used. Novel biomarker tests are not yet widespread nor recommended for the detection of UTUC. Long-term, regular follow-up, including URS in patients who have had organ-sparing treatment, is important to check for tumour recurrences, intravesical recurrences, metastases and progression of the tumour.
conclusionProper diagnostics with correct grading of UTUC are necessary for appropriate treatment decisions. The diagnostics should include CTU with corticomedullary phase, urine or bladder cytology, URS with focal barbotage cytology, and biopsies when needed for proper diagnosis and risk stratification. Regular, long-term follow-ups are fundamental, due to the high rate of recurrence and risk of progression.
