Postoperative complications following simple cystectomy for radiation-induced bladder dysfunction compared to radical cystectomy: A matched cohort study.

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
Introduction: Simple cystectomy (SC) for radiation-induced bladder dysfunction (RIBD) is occasionally performed, yet data regarding perioperative outcomes are limited. This study aimed to compare perioperative complications following SC for RIBD with radical cystectomy (RC) for bladder cancer. Material and methods: We conducted a retrospective single-center analysis of patients who underwent laparoscopic cystectomy with ureterocutaneostomy between 2016 and 2024. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied separately for cT1-cT2 stage tumors, cT3-cT4 stage tumors, and for SC group vesicoenteric fistula patients. Outcomes were assessed using the Clavien-Dindo (CD) classification at 30 and 90 days. Results: In total, 257 patients were included in the study: 25 SC for RIBD and 232 RC for BC. Prior to matching, SC patients had significantly higher rates of CD grade ≥3 complications at 30 days (44% vs 22.4%, p <0.001), higher reoperation rates (47.8% vs 11.6%, p <0.001), and prolonged hospital stays (15 vs 9 days, p = 0.002). After matching, SC patients continued to demonstrate more severe complications, especially compared to cT1-T2 RC patients (CD ≥3 complications: 47.1% vs 11.8%, p = 0.057; reoperations: 56.2% vs 5.9%, p = 0.002). In patients with vesicoenteric fistula after matching, CD complication rates at 30 days did not differ significantly between groups (p = 0.130), 90-day complication rates were comparable (p = 0.968), and reoperations occurred significantly more often in the SC group (61.5% vs 6.7%; p = 0.004). Study limitations include the retrospective single-center design, small SC group size and urinary diversion type. Conclusions: Due to high morbidity, non-oncological cystectomy for RIBD should be limited to selected cases and managed in experienced, multidisciplinary centers. Urinary diversion without cystectomy may be a safer alternative.
