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

purposeTo compare the perioperative, functional, and oncological outcomes of the intracorporeal neobladder (ICNB) and extracorporeal neobladder (ECNB) technique following robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC).

methodsWe reviewed our single-institutional, prospectively collected database for consecutive patients who underwent RARC with an ileum neobladder from July 2016 to February 2023. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the approach of reconstruction (ICNB or ECNB). The chi-squared test and Wilcoxon test were used to summarize categorical and continuous variables, respectively. survival and complication outcomes were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves, multivariate logistic regression and Cox hazards models.

resultAmong 304 patients, 190 ICNB patients and 114 ECNB patients were identified. A shorter median operative time (320 vs. 354 min; p = 0.001) and less median EBL (300 vs. 500 ml; p < 0.001) were recorded in the ICNB group. A significant difference in 90-d overall complications was detected between the 2 groups (49.5% vs. 61.4%; p = 0.043). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that age, relapsed tumor and surgical approach (ECNB/ICNB) were individual predictive factors for 90-d overall complications. The functional outcomes and survival rates were comparable between the ICNB and ECNB groups. A Cox proportional hazards model indicated that higher pathological stage and pN status are predictors of both recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).

conclusionCompared with ECNB, ICNB significantly improves perioperative outcomes without compromising functional or oncological outcomes.
