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
This study compared the perioperative outcomes of ECUD and ICUD after robot-assisted radical cystectomy for bladder cancer by systematic review and meta-analysis. Our study was registered in PROSPERO, (CRD420250655207). A search strategy was constructed based on PICO principles and subject term extensions (Mesh Term and Emtree), and 149 publications were retrieved in in Pubmed, Web of Science, Embase and Cochrane Library. The literature was screened by two researchers using Endnote following the PROSPERO process and inclusion-exclusion criteria, and four studies were retained. In total, 975 patients with ECUD and 419 patients with ICUD were included. Baseline levels were assessed using the Fixed Mantel-Haenszel method and Random I-V heterogeneit. The patient's condition is consistent. The quality of the retained cohort study articles was assessed using the New Castle Ottawa Scale (NOS). All 4 studies were of high quality. Perioperative outcomes included blood loss, time to urethral diversion, overall operative time, length of stay, number of 90 day readmissions, number of early major complications, number of 90 day complications, and number of early complications. Data were transformed using RevMan 5.4 and means and standard deviations were estimated. Data were transformed and statistically analysed using StataMP 16, with continuous variables assessed using standardised mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), and categorical variables assessed using odds ratios (OR) and 95%CIs, with heterogeneity and sensitivity analyses. Robot-assisted radical cystectomy for bladder cancer after ECUD resulted in shorter overall operative time and urethral diversion time compared to ICUD, with mean reductions of 93.54 and 36.85 min, respectively. Early complications were more in ECUD compared to ICUD. There was no difference in blood loss, length of hospital stay, 90 day rehospitalisation, early major complications, or early complications.
