Beyond surgery: bladder preservation and the role of systemic treatment in localised muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Review in World journal of urology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Over the last two to three decades the non-surgical curative management of bladder cancer has significantly progressed. Increasing evidence supports the use of bladder preservation as an alternative to radical cystectomy (RC) for localised muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Radiosensitisation with chemotherapy or hypoxia modification improves the efficacy of radiotherapy. Systemic treatments play an important role in the management of localised MIBC with the benefit of neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to radical treatment well established. The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in the radical treatment of bladder cancer, their safe combination with radical radiotherapy regimens and whether the addition of ICIs improve rates of cure are outstanding questions beginning to be answered by ongoing clinical trials. In this narrative review, we discuss the current evidence for bladder preservation and the role of systemic treatments for localised MIBC.
