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

Trimodality therapy (TMT)-maximal transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy-can offer oncologic outcomes comparable to radical cystectomy (RC) in carefully selected muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients while preserving the bladder and, possibly, the quality of life. Systematic reviews and long-term series support durable bladder-intact survival in responders, yet there is still a significant percentage of patients who exhibit incomplete response or invasive intravesical recurrence requiring salvage RC. This review covers computational genomics, transcriptomics, immune contexture, radiogenomics, and digital pathology approaches for predicting response in order to avoid preventable TMT failures. We discuss clinically relevant endpoints (complete response, invasive recurrence, bladder-intact survival, and salvage RC), patient selection (carcinoma in situ, hydronephrosis, debulking feasibility, and histology), and DNA damage response (DDR) biology-highlighting
