Lymph node dissection during cystectomy for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer: A systematic review.
Review in BJUI compass, 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
Background and objective: Radical cystectomy (RC) is standard for muscle-invasive disease (MIBC) and utilised frequently in high-risk non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) is routinely performed during RC for MIBC, demonstrating a survival benefit. However, the oncologic value in NMIBC remains uncertain. As such, a systematic review was conducted to determine whether PLND confers an oncologic benefit in NMIBC patients undergoing RC. Materials and methods: A systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase and PubMed (January 1989-January 2025) was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines (CRD42023443011). Eligible studies included NMIBC patients undergoing RC with or without PLND. Data extraction and quality assessment (ROBINS-I, MINORS) were performed independently by two reviewers. Results: Twenty-one retrospective studies ( Conclusions: PLND appears to improve staging and survival in high-risk NMIBC, especially pT1 disease. Routine PLND for low-risk Ta/Tis disease is unsupported. Standardised definitions of PLND extent and prospective evaluation are needed to confirm its therapeutic role.
