1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Urothelial cancers of the urinary tract are the fourth most common malignancy in men, with a shifting demographic affecting younger patients and an increasing incidence in females. In this Review, we discuss recent discoveries and paradigm-shifting clinical trials that impact all stages of urothelial cancer. New therapeutics and drug-delivery devices have led to multiple approvals for treatments of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. The addition of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and antibody-drug conjugates is transforming perioperative treatment for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer. The use of liquid biomarkers, circulating tumor DNA, and urinary tumor DNA is aiding the identification of patients at risk for local recurrence and possibly those who can avoid systemic therapy. Finally, integrating biomarkers and systemic treatments is creating a paradigm that could lead to the successful treatment of bladder cancer without requiring bladder removal. Overall, these advancements in biomarkers and novel therapeutics are likely to dramatically improve survival for bladder cancer.
