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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND/

aimsMuscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) has a 5-year survival rate of 40-60% following traditional treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and radical cystectomy (RC), which significantly impacts quality of life. Bladder preservation strategies, including maximal transurethral resection of the bladder tumor (TURBT), NAC, and radiation therapy, offer similar survival rates with better quality of life. Immune checkpoint inhibitors like avelumab show potential benefits when combined with bladder preservation modalities. This phase II randomized, non-comparative, double-arm, open-label, multicenter trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of two tetra-modality bladder preservation strategies in MIBC patients (T2-T4N0M0). The primary endpoint is the 2-year proportion of bladder-preserved participants. Secondary endpoints include response rates post-induction, quality of life, and safety evaluations.

methodsEighty participants will be randomized 1:1 into Arm A or Arm B. All participants will first receive induction chemotherapy (DDMVAC or GC) combined with avelumab, followed by disease evaluation using imaging and TURBT. Those achieving a complete or near-complete response will proceed to hypofractionated radiation therapy (55 Grays in 20 fractions). After radiation, Arm A will receive maintenance avelumab for 1 year, while Arm B will follow a watch-and-wait approach. Non-responders in both arms will be referred for salvage RC. CLINICAL
