Clinical Outcomes of Micropapillary Urothelial Carcinoma of the Bladder Treated With Radical Cystectomy.

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
Background/Aim: This study examined the treatment outcomes of radical cystectomy (RC) for micropapillary subtype (MPS) bladder cancer treated at our hospital. Patients and Methods: Histopathological findings of RC specimens collected from 2003 to 2020 were evaluated. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) after RC, as well as the efficacy of chemotherapy in cases of recurrence, were retrospectively assessed. Results: Of 202 patients who underwent RC, seven (3.4%) had MPS bladder cancer. All seven patients underwent immediate RC without neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The median patient age was 58 years (range=52-71 years), and all patients were male. After RC, median RFS was 14 months (range=6-115 months), and median OS was 31 months (range=18-115 months). The clinical tumor stage was cT1 or lower in two patients (28.5%), cT2 in two patients (28.5%), and cT3 or higher in three patients (42.8%). No preoperative lymph node metastasis was observed. The pathological tumor stage was pT1 or lower in one patient (14.2%), pT2 in one patient (14.2%), and pT3 or higher in five patients (71.4%). The pathological lymph node stage was observed in five patients (71.4%). Although six of seven patients (85.7%) received adjuvant chemotherapy, all patients experienced relapse. The objective response rates of primary and secondary chemotherapy at relapse were both 33%. One patient received immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy and maintained stable disease for 12 months. Conclusion: The recurrence rate after RC for MPS bladder cancer was high, and prognosis was poor.
