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

objectivesTo evaluate the preoperative risk factors for early intravesical recurrence after radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) in patients with upper urinary tract carcinoma (UTUC) according to the history of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).

methodsWe retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent RNU for UTUC between 2012 and 2022 at 14 hospitals. Early recurrence was defined as intravesical pathologically confirmed recurrence within 1 year after RNU. Patients who received single-dose immediate intravesical instillation (IVI) as prevention for intravesical recurrence were excluded. Using preoperative factors, we examined the risk factors for early intravesical recurrences in patients with and without a history of NMIBC. Death from any cause within 1 year after RNU was regarded as a competitive risk.

resultsWe included 504 UTUC patients who were treated with RNU. Among these patients, 126 (25.0%) had a history of NMIBC, whereas 378 (75%) did not. According to multivariate analysis, the presence of macrohematuria, positive cytology in self-voided urine, and performing diagnostic ureteroscopy prior to RNU were risk factors in patients without a history of NMIBC. On the other hand, an NMIBC diagnosis within 1 year prior to RNU and an extravesical approach for bladder cuff management were risk factors in RNU-treated patients with a history of NMIBC.

conclusionsEarly intravesical recurrence risk factors differ between UTUC patients with and without a history of NMIBC. Different stratification may be needed to predict intravesical recurrence risk in these two types of UTUC patients.
