Safety of transurethral resection of bladder tumor in octogenarians: a NSQIP analysis.
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
objectivesTo compare rates of 30-day post-operative complications after transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) in octogenarians versus younger patients.
methodsWe conducted a review of the NSQIP database from 2012 to 2022. We included patients undergoing TURBT as the principal procedure, and excluded patients with disseminated cancer, pre-operative sepsis, or who were ventilator-dependent. We conducted multivariate logistic regression modeling to evaluate the association of age (≥ 80 vs. < 80 years) with 30-day post-operative complications, adjusting for confounders. We report adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsWe identified 78,665 reports of TURBT, of which 21,627 (27.5%) were performed on patients aged ≥ 80. In multivariate analysis, age ≥ 80 was significantly associated with septic shock (aOR 2.29; 95% CI 1.44-3.66), receipt of blood transfusion ≤ 72 h (aOR 1.42; 95% CI 1.20-1.67), prolonged post-operative stay ≥ 1 day (aOR 1.50; 95% CI 1.43-1.57), unplanned related readmission (aOR 1.26; 95% CI 1.15-1.38), and death (aOR 2.74; 95% CI 2.15-3.52). Octogenarians had greater rates of readmission for hematuria (0.7% vs. 0.5%) but not reoperation for hematuria (0.7% vs. 0.8%). Octogenarians were also more frequently readmitted for severe complications (31.8% vs. 26.3% CD grades 3-5).
conclusionsOctogenarians who underwent TURBT experienced higher rates of several serious 30-day complications. While TURBT in octogenarians has a low rate of complications overall, clinicians should remain mindful of increased risk of complications for pre-operative counseling and discharge preparation.
