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

Background: Transurethral resection of bladder tumor is associated with some limitations when used in the diagnosis and treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Objectives: This study explored the application of needle electrodes in the transurethral resection of single bladder tumor (SBT) and highlighted the advantages of Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 79 patients with SBT treated at the Department of Urology, People's Liberation Army General Hospital, from January to December 2023. Among the patients, 64 (81.0%) were male, and 15 (19.0%) were female, with a mean age of 62.6 years. Among the patients, 68 (86.1%) had primary tumors, 11 (13.9%) had recurrent tumors, and 2 (2.5%) had SBTs following upper urothelial carcinoma radical resection. All patients underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumors using needle electrodes. Results: All procedures were successfully completed. The mean operation time lasted 51.0 min, and the mean blood loss was 7.9 mL. The median tumor size was 2 cm. The obturator nerve block was employed in 22 (33.8%) cases. The incidence of obturator nerve reflex was 40.9% (9/22) and 23.3% (10/43) without ( Conclusion: Needle electrode resection for SBTs was highly safe, had low complication rates, and offered accurate tumor staging, resulting in precise treatment and low postoperative recurrence.
