1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundIdentifying the likelihood of life-threatening recurrence after radical cystectomy by reliable and user-friendly predictive models remains an unmet need in the clinical management of invasive bladder cancer.

methodsA total of 204 consecutive patients undergoing open radical cystectomy (ORC) for bladder cancer were retrospectively enrolled between May 2005 and August 2020. Clinicopathological and peri-ORC therapeutic data were extracted from clinical records. We explored predictive factors that significantly affected the primary endpoint of overall survival (OS) and secondary endpoints of cancer-specific survival (CSS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS).

resultsDuring a median follow-up of 3.9 years, 42 (20.6%) and 10 (4.9%) patients died due to bladder cancer and other causes, respectively. Five-year RFS, CSS, and OS were 66.5%, 77.6%, and 75.4%, respectively. Pathological T and N categories and lymphovascular invasion (LVI) significantly affected RFS by Cox regression analysis. Accordingly, clinical T and pathological N categories and LVI significantly affected CSS. Clinical T and pathological N categories, LVI, age, and ORC tumor grade significantly affected OS. Based on the assessment score for each independent risk factor, we developed the Gunma University Oncology Study Group (GUOSG) score, which predicts RFS, CSS, and OS. The GUOSG score classified four groups for RFS, three for CSS, and five for OS, with statistically significant distribution for nearly all comparisons.

conclusionsThe GUOSG model is helpful to show individualized prognosis and functions as a risk-stratified historical cohort for assessing the lifelong efficacy of new salvage treatment regimens.
