Effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on years of life lost in radical cystectomy-treated T2N0M0 bladder cancer patients.
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 5 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
introductionNeoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by radical cystectomy (RC) is standard of care for T2N0M0 urothelial carcinoma of urinary bladder (UCUB) patients. However, the effect of NAC on years of life lost (YLL) in RC-treated T2N0M0 patients has never been quantified.
methodsWithin the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database (2004-2021), T2N0M0 UCUB patients aged 40-75 years treated with RC, with or without NAC, were included. Relying on Social Security Administration (SSA) life tables, an age/sex-matched control (Monte Carlo simulation) was simulated for each patient. Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate average YLL until the age of 75 years between SEER cases and SSA simulated controls.
resultsOverall, 1511 (27.8%) T2N0M0 UCUB patients treated with RC + NAC and 3932 (72.2%) with RC alone were identified. Compared to simulated population controls, RC + NAC vs. RC alone patients exhibited 1.3 vs. 2.3 YLL. In sensitivity analyses according to age at diagnosis, the most pronounced YLL values were recorded in youngest patients (40-55 years): RC + NAC: 2.2 YLL vs. RC alone: 6.1 YLL. Intermediate YLL values were recorded in intermediate age patients (56-65 years): RC + NAC: 1.9 YLL vs. RC alone: 3.2 YLL. Finally, the least pronounced YLL values were recorded in oldest patients (66-75 years): RC + NAC: 0.4 YLL vs. RC alone: 0.7 YLL. Invariably, RC alone was associated with higher YLL values than RC + NAC.
conclusionWhen YLL represented the endpoint, RC + NAC patients exhibited more favorable outcomes than RC alone patients. In both RC + NAC and RC alone groups maximal YLL applied to youngest individuals and decreased in proportion to increasing age.
