The role of VI-RADS scoring criteria for predicting oncological outcomes in bladder cancer.
Article 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
purposeOur purpose was to evaluate the prognostic value of Vesical Imaging Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) in bladder cancer (BCa) staging and predicting recurrence or progression.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the prospectively collected data from 96 patients with bladder tumors who underwent VI-RADS-based multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) before endourological treatment from April 2021 to December 2022. Diagnostic performance was evaluated by comparing mpMRI reports with final pathology, using logistic regression for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) predictors. Follow-up until May 2023 included Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analysis to assess VI-RADS predictive roles for recurrence-free survival (RFS) and progression-free survival (PFS).
resultsA total of 96 patients (19.8% women, 80.2% men; median age 68.0 years) were included, with 71% having primary tumors and 29% recurrent BCa. Multiparametric MRI exhibited high sensitivity (92%) and specificity (79%) in predicting MIBC, showing no significant differences between primary and recurrent cancers (AUC: 0.96 vs. 0.92, P = .565). VI-RADS emerged as a key predictor for MIBC in both univariate (OR: 40.3, P < .001) and multivariate (OR: 54.6, P < .001) analyses. Primary tumors with VI-RADS ≥ 3 demonstrated significantly shorter RFS (P = .02) and PFS (P = .04).
conclusionsIn conclusion, mpMRI with VI-RADS has a high diagnostic value in predicting MIBC in both primary and recurrent BCa. A VI-RADS threshold ≥ 3 is a strong predictor for MIBC, and in primary tumors predicts early recurrence and progression.
