Long-Term Complications and Quality of Life After Urinary Diversion for Bladder Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Review in Cureus, 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
Urinary diversion after radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer significantly influences long-term outcomes and patient quality of life. This systematic review and meta-analysis examined complications occurring five years or more post-RC across the three main diversion types: ileal conduit (IC), orthotopic neobladder (ONB), and continent cutaneous urinary diversion (CCUD). A total of 16 studies with 8,493 patients were included. We compared morbidity, mortality, reoperation, and urinary tract infection, along with patient-reported quality of life (QoL). The meta-analysis revealed that IC was associated with reduced urinary stone formation and improved global health scores, while better urinary function and body image perception were associated with ONB. Data on CCUD were limited, preventing meta-analysis, but qualitative findings suggested distinct functional and QoL benefits compared to IC and ONB. This study highlights the importance of individualized surgical decision-making based on long-term outcomes and patient preferences; however, the limited data on CCUD highlights the need for further high-quality research to clarify its long-term safety, functional outcomes, and QoL implications.
