Impact of smoking status at diagnosis on oncological outcomes of upper-tract urothelial carcinoma.
Article in Therapeutic advances in urology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02281188 (Registry for Treatment of Upper Urinary Tract Tumours; A Multi-Center, International Registry to Evaluate the Treatment of Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Background: The evidence supporting personalized surveillance strategies for upper-tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) remains limited. This study seeks to explore how smoking habits influence the oncological outcomes of UTUC. Methods: Data on disease characteristics from UTUC patients were gathered prospectively. Recurrence-free survival was the primary outcome measured. Patients were stratified based on smoking status for Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox regression analyses. Results: A total of 1952 patients were involved, including 684 (35%) patients who never smoked, 572 (29%) that were ex-smokers, and 696 (36%) that were current smokers. For female patients, most of them were nonsmokers ( Conclusion: Smoking at the time of diagnosis was significantly associated with an increased risk of tumor recurrence in the bladder but not significantly in the upper urinary tract. This study confirms that cumulative smoking exposure accelerates the risk of tumor recurrence and underlines the importance of smoking cessation. Trial registration: NCT02281188.
