Management of Muscle-Invasive Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma in a South Asian Adult Man: Utility of Adaptive Radiotherapy in a Resource-Limited Country.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 bladder cancer contributes significantly to the global cancer burden and is more prevalent in the developed world. We present the case of a 54-year-old male smoker who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumor and consequent trimodality therapy (induction chemotherapy followed by concomitant chemo-radiotherapy). His disease was staged at cT3N0M0. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and plan-of-the-day adaptive radiotherapy (ART) were utilized to treat muscle-invasive bladder urothelial carcinoma (MIBC). Instead of the usual planning treatment volume (PTV) of 2 cm, the disease-free state was achieved with a small PTV of 5 mm in 18 fractions and a large PTV of 1.5 cm in two fractions only. The volume of bowel saved with this strategy was 180 cc. The patient tolerated the treatment well with no side effects and is living a healthy life till date. CBCT-guided ART with plan-of-the-day approach is a precise and effective approach for the management of MIBC within limited resources.
