Dose-Escalated Radiation Therapy as Primary Treatment for Residual Bladder Cancer After Transurethral Resection.
Article in Advances in radiation oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether escalating the local radiation dose can improve the outcome of residual bladder cancer after transurethral resection of bladder tumor without increasing treatment-related toxicity. Methods and Materials: The treatment plans and medical records of patients with bladder cancer treated with curative-intent radiation therapy between 2008 and 2020 were reviewed. Those who had residual tumors in the computed tomography simulation images were included. A cumulative radiation dose higher than 6600 cGy was defined as dose escalation. The effect of dose escalation on 3-year locoregional control, progression-free survival, and overall survival was evaluated. Results: A total of 149 patients with residual tumors were identified. The median follow-up period was 27.5 months. Among them, 51 patients received an escalated radiation dose, and 98 received a standard dose in the residual tumor area. Patients in the dose-escalation group had higher 3-year locoregional control (65.6% vs 27.8%; Conclusions: The outcome of residual bladder cancer after transurethral resection of bladder tumor could be improved by dose-escalated radiation therapy.
