Active surveillance in low-grade NMIBC - results of an international two-round modified Delphi consensus.
Article in Nature reviews. Urology, 2026. 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
Standard management for recurrent low-grade non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (LG-NMIBC) often involves a substantial treatment burden, which is not justified by the relatively indolent course of the disease, prompting a need for de-intensification strategies. Active surveillance (AS) is an alternative approach aimed at reducing overtreatment in selected patients. However, the broader adoption of AS is hindered by a lack of standardized protocols for patient selection, monitoring and intervention. To address this gap, we conducted an international, two-round Delphi consensus among 51 bladder cancer experts to establish foundational statements for the use of AS. Consensus was achieved on 20 statements, providing clear recommendations for terminology; inclusion and exclusion criteria; follow-up monitoring; and exit criteria. This Delphi consensus provides the first expert-driven framework to standardize the clinical application of AS for LG-NMIBC. These statements could guide current clinical practice and unify the design of future trials.
