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

Background: Muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) is highly aggressive with poor prognosis. Radical cystectomy (RC) with urinary diversion, the standard treatment, impairs patients' quality of life. This study explored modified partial cystectomy (MPC) as a bladder-preserving option, assessing oncological control, perioperative outcomes, and quality of life. Methods: Patients who underwent partial cystectomy for urothelial carcinoma at the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University between January 2020 and January 2022 were included. Some received standard laparoscopic partial cystectomy (LPC), while others received MPC with laparoscopic pelvic lymph node dissection and open tumor resection. These were compared with a gold standard group undergoing RC and lymph node dissection, evaluating perioperative, functional, and oncological outcomes. Results: Among the 57 patients (16 MPC, 18 LPC, 23 RC), LPC patients were older, RC tumors were more commonly located on the trigone, and tumors in the RC group were larger. Major complications were 21.7% in RC, Conclusions: MPC surpasses LPC in tumor resection, reducing recurrence and enhancing survival. MPC also achieves similar oncological results to RC, making it a promising bladder-preserving alternative for MIBC patients.
