Perioperative Outcomes in Simple Cystectomy for Neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction: A Comparison of Surgical Approach, Surgical Teams, and Alvimopan Use.
Article in International neurourology journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeLimited data exist on factors influencing surgical outcomes in simple cystectomy for refractory neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction (NLUTD). We evaluated the impact of alvimopan use, surgical approach (robotic vs. open), and single vs. multiple surgeons on peri- and postoperative outcomes.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective study of patients undergoing simple cystectomy for refractory NLUTD. Patient demographics, surgical details, and postoperative outcomes, including bowel function recovery, postoperative ileus, nasogastric tube use, and total parenteral nutrition use, were analyzed.
resultsA total of 44 patients were included in the study, with 68% being female. The median age was 57 years, and the median body mass index was 28.3 kg/m2. The majority were Caucasian (86%) with spinal cord injury (55%) history. In comparing single-surgeon versus multiple-surgeon procedures, the latter had significantly higher estimated blood loss. Thirty-three patients (73%) received alvimopan, with no significant differences between alvimopan and nonalvimopan groups in operative and postoperative factors.
conclusionNLUTD patients undergoing simple cystectomy represent a distinct surgical cohort. While multiple-surgeon procedures resulted in greater blood loss, they did not affect other perioperative outcomes. Additionally, alvimopan did not significantly improve bowel function recovery or reduce postoperative ileus, likely due to underlying neurogenic bowel dysfunction.
