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
Background: Continuous updates to procedures and hospital admissions for bladder cancer (BC) are crucial for understanding trends, particularly within Brazil's public health system. Monitoring these data is vital for informed decision-making. Objective: The objective of the study was to understand the trends in surgical procedures for BC within the Brazilian public health system. Methods: Data were collected from the Brazilian Data Center for the Public Health System, focusing on hospital admissions related to bladder surgeries from 2013 to 2023. Information was categorized in terms of procedure urgency, hospitalization duration, costs, and mortality rates. Results: A total of 123,434 BC-related surgical procedures were performed, the majority of which were elective (73.4%) and bladder-preserving (BP, 96.2%). There were 1,710 reported mortalities, with a consistent procedure-specific mortality rate (PSMR) across the 11-year period for all procedures. The average hospitalization duration for elective BP (β = -0.12, Conclusion: BC-related hospital admissions, particularly for BP procedures, have increased, reflecting improved access to healthcare. However, regional disparities in surgical care, mortality rates, and hospital stays persist across Brazil.
