Physical activity matters: prognostic impact of preoperative functioning scores in patients undergoing radical cystectomy.
Article in World journal of urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo investigate the prognostic significance of preoperative health-related quality of life (HRQOL) functioning scores, assessed by the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire, in predicting survival outcomes for patients undergoing radical cystectomy (RC) for urothelial carcinoma (UC) of the bladder. While established prognostic factors include tumor stage and lymph node involvement, the role of HRQOL in survival remains underexplored.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent RC for bladder cancer at a tertiary center between April 2013 and August 2024. Preoperative HRQOL domains-physical (PF), role (RF), and emotional functioning (EF)-were assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Patients were stratified based on PF scores (≥ 90 vs. <90), and propensity score matching was applied. Survival outcomes, including overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS), were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier estimates and Cox regression models.
resultsOverall, 276 patients were included. Patients with PF scores ≥ 90 had significantly higher 5-year OS (80.4% vs. 55.5%, p = 0.003) and lower recurrence rates. Low PF scores were an independent predictor of worse OS (HR: 2.54, 95% CI 1.42-4.55, p = 0.002). RF scores also influenced OS, while EF scores showed no association with survival.
conclusionPreoperative PF and RF scores provide valuable prognostic information for patients undergoing RC. Given the modifiable nature of PF, prehabilitation programs could improve outcomes. Integrating HRQOL assessments into routine preoperative evaluations may enhance personalized risk stratification and patient care.
