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

backgroundUpper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) is a rare malignancy, with typically only few new cases annually per urological department. Adherence to European association of urology (EAU) guidelines on UTUC in the Nordic countries is unknown. The objective of this survey was to examine the implementation of EAU guidelines, the perioperative management and organization of the treatment of UTUC in the Nordic countries.

methodsThe electronic survey was distributed to 93 hospitals in the Nordic countries performing radical nephroureterectomy (NU). The survey consisted of 57 main questions and data was collected between December 1st, 2021 and April 23rd, 2022.

resultsOverall response rate was 47/93 (67%) with a completion rate of 98%. Five out of the 6 examined subjects on diagnostic practice are applied by ≥ 72% of the participating centers. NU as treatment for high-risk UTUC is performed by 37/47 (79%), and 91% include a bladder cuff excision.

conclusionsAdherence to EAU guidelines is high on diagnostic practice in the Nordic countries, whereas disease management is less coherent.
