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

The high recurrence rate and poor prognosis of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (BC) are challenges that need to be urgently addressed. Transurethral cystectomy for bladder tumors is often combined with bladder perfusion therapy, which can effectively reduce the recurrence and progression rates of BC. The present review integrated and analyzed currently available bladder perfusion drugs, mainly including chemotherapeutic agents, immunotherapeutic agents and other adjuvant perfusion drugs. Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) perfusion was the pioneering immunotherapy for early BC and still ranks high in the selection of perfusion drugs. However, BCG infusion has a high toxicity profile and has been shown to be ineffective in some patients. Due to the limitations of BCG, new bladder perfusion drugs are constantly being developed. Immunotherapeutic agents have opened a whole new chapter in the selection of therapeutic agents for bladder perfusion. The present review explored the mechanism of action, clinical dosage and adverse effects of a variety of bladder perfusion drugs currently in common use, described combined perfusion and compared the effects of certain drugs on BC.
