Health-related quality of life after radical cystectomy for bladder cancer in elderly patients with ileal orthotopic neobladder, ureterocutaneostomy or ileal conduit: cross-sectional study using validated questionnaires.
Article in BMC urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeThe most appropriate form of urinary diversion (UD) after radical cystectomy remains controversial. In this study, we aimed to compare the health-related quality of life questionnaire results of patients who underwent orthotopic neobladder (ONB), ureterocutaneostomy (UC) and ileal conduit (IC) diversion. MATERIALS: A total of 92 patients, including 42 out of 65 IC patients, 11 out of 15 ONB patients, and 39 out of 59 UC patients, completed the SF-36 and Barthel index quality of life questionnaires.
resultsThe mean follow-up periods were 11.7 ± 13.5 months for UC patients, 24.2 ± 20.8 months for IC patients, and 34.3 ± 25 months for ONB patients. The drain removal times were 5.7 ± 2.3 days in the UC group, 7 ± 2.8 days in the IC group, and 10.9 ± 9.2 days in the ONB group, with both the follow-up and drain removal periods being shorter in the UC group (P < 0.001; P = 0.002). Significant differences were noted in quality of life scores, particularly for emotional function (P = 0.016) and fatigue (P = 0.001), with the ONB group having higher emotional function scores and the UC group having higher fatigue scores than the other groups did.
conclusionAlthough there was no significant difference in terms of quality of life among the three methods, according to our results, we concluded that ONB should be performed in healthy, young, fit patients, especially those with body image expectations, and that UC should be performed in high-risk elderly patients. Although the selection of UD is based on individual considerations and the experience of the physician, quality of life questionnaires and patient counseling have critical importance.
