Effect of Race/Ethnicity on In-hospital Outcomes After Radical Cystectomy.
Article in Journal of racial and ethnic health disparities, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivePreviously, African American race/ethnicity predisposed to higher rate of adverse in-hospital outcomes after radical cystectomy (RC). We tested whether this association applies to contemporary RC patients.
methodsPatients were identified within the National Inpatient Sample (NIS 2000-2019). Multivariable logistic and Poisson regression models were fitted.
resultsOf 19,370 RC patients, 1,089 (5.6%) were African American, while 18,281 (94.4%) were Caucasian. Relative to Caucasians, African Americans were younger (median age 66 vs. 70 years; p < 0.001), more frequently female (33.8 vs. 18.5%; p < 0.001) and more frequently in the lowest income quartile (46.8 vs. 18.6%; p < 0.001). Relative to Caucasians, after RC, African Americans exhibited higher rates of postoperative complications (61.3 vs. 58.3%; multivariable odds ratio [MOR] 1.2; p = 0.009). Specifically, African Americans exhibited higher rates of blood transfusions (30.2 vs. 24.1%; MOR 1.3; p < 0.001), gastrointestinal (26.7 vs. 24.1%; MOR 1.2; p = 0.003), and infectious (6.2 vs. 4.2%; MOR 1.5; p = 0.001) complications, as well as deep vein thrombosis (3.1 vs. 1.7%; MOR 1.9; p < 0.001). Additionally, after RC, African Americans exhibited higher rates of critical care therapy use (CCT; 13.9 vs. 12.2%; MOR 1.3; p = 0.002) and in-hospital mortality (2.8 vs. 1.7%; MOR 1.8; p = 0.002). Finally, African Americans exhibited higher rates of length of stay ≥ 75th percentile (40.9 vs. 31.2%; MOR 1.6; p < 0.001).
conclusionsIn contemporary RC patients, African American race/ethnicity predisposes to less favorable in-hospital outcomes, including higher in-hospital mortality and longer hospital stay. Unfortunately, these race/ethnicity disadvantages have not been improved upon relative to the previous report.
