Impact of Antiaggregant and Anticoagulant Medications on Perioperative Complications in Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma.
Article in European urology open science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02281188 (Registry for Treatment of Upper Urinary Tract Tumours; A Multi-Center, International Registry to Evaluate the Treatment of Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Background and objective: Contemporary data are limited regarding the clinical practice of administering anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications (AA) perioperatively for patients with upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). Our aim was to investigate real-world AA perioperative management among patients with UTUC who underwent radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) and the impact on perioperative complications. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of data from the Clinical Research Office of the Endourology Society UTUC registry. Patients were stratified into two groups according to perioperative AA use in the RNU cohort. Baseline characteristics were compared between the control and AA groups and intraoperative and postoperative complications were analyzed. We also conducted subgroup analysis for patients who discontinued AA use in comparison to those who continued AA therapy. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to identify predictors of perioperative complications. Key findings and limitations: A total of 1264 patients who underwent RNU were included in the analysis. Of these, 393 (31%) had AA treatment before RNU and 871 (69%) did not. Intraoperative complications occurred in 23 patients (5.9%) in the AA group and 41 (4.7%) in the control group. Postoperative complications occurred in 101 patients (26%) in the AA group and 182 (21%) in the control group. Multivariable logistic regression demonstrated that AA was not an independent risk factor for either intraoperative complications (odds ratio 0.93, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.48-1.83; Conclusions and clinical implications: Anticoagulant and antiaggregant therapy in patients undergoing RNU is safe, with no difference in the incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications. Patient summary: Our analysis for patients with cancer in the upper urinary tract showed that taking drugs to prevent blood clots before surgery to remove a kidney is safe. We found no significant differences in complication rates in comparison to patients not taking these drugs.The Clinical Research Office of the Endourology Society UTUC registry study is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov as NCT02281188.
