Current laser application in En bloc resection of bladder tumor- a narrative literature review.
Review in World journal of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
At present, laser en bloc resection of bladder tumor (ERBT) has attracted great interest with potential superiority to transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT). It has several advantages, including complete resection, intact specimen for accurate histologic assessment, avoiding fragmentation and tumor seeding, preventing obturator nerve reflex, and reduction of inflammatory response. Several types of lasers have been studied in the application of ERBT, for example, holmium laser, green-light laser, thulium laser, diode laser. This paper reviews current literature concerning the characteristics of these types of laser, the surgical technique and procedures of laser ERBT with its advantages and limitations, and future directions in clinical development, aiming to display the status quo of these techniques in clinical practice.
