Cystoscopy Accuracy in Detecting Bladder Tumors: A Prospective Video-Confirmed Study.
Article in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundBladder cancer ranks as the 10th most common cancer globally. The diagnosis of bladder tumors typically involves cystoscopy.
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of cystoscopy in detecting bladder tumors within a surveillance program following a bladder cancer diagnosis. DESIGN, SETTING, AND
participantsThis study utilized recordings of cystoscopies conducted at the Department of Urology, Zealand University Hospital, between July 2021 and November 2022. Clinical observations were cross-referenced with pathological results or follow-up cystoscopies. Clinically negative cystoscopies were further scrutinized for potential overlooked tumors. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Sensitivity and specificity of cystoscopy were assessed through ROC curve analysis. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: A total of 565 cystoscopies were recorded, with 135 indicating clinical positivity. Among 181 cystoscopies with clinically negative results that underwent a follow-up cystoscopy, 17 patients (9.4%) were subsequently diagnosed with bladder cancer, with the lesions identified in the initial cystoscopy. The sensitivity and specificity of cystoscopy in these cases were 81% and 73%, respectively.
conclusionThis trial underscores the underdiagnosis and undertreatment of bladder tumors within the current surveillance program. Additionally, aggressive malignant lesions may be overlooked, heightening the risk of disease progression. Therefore, it is recommended that cystoscopies be complemented by other diagnostic methods to ensure accurate diagnosis and proper patient treatment. PATIENT SUMMARY: This study involved 316 patients who underwent video-recorded cystoscopies and subsequent follow-up. Of these patients, 181 initially exhibited no clinical signs of bladder cancer. However, upon reviewing the recorded cystoscopy, bladder cancer was identified in 17 patients (9.4%).
