Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy as a neoadjuvant treatment for muscle-invasive bladder carcinoma: A narrative review.
Review in Current urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Immunotherapy has become a standard treatment for patients with advanced urothelial carcinoma, and neoadjuvant immunotherapy is currently being extensively explored. This review highlights the initial findings and key clinical therapeutic insights on immune checkpoint inhibitors in the early treatment of muscle-invasive bladder cancer across diverse patient populations. Most available literature consists of clinical investigations involving small sample, single-arm phase II trials, with the primary endpoint being the pathologic complete response rate. Early results of immune checkpoint inhibitors in the neoadjuvant treatment of bladder cancer have demonstrated promising efficacy. However, these findings require confirmation in large phase III clinical trials, with particular emphasis on long-term survival benefits and identifying patients who respond to treatment.
