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

backgroundUrinary diversion (UD) after radical cystectomy (RC) is a complex surgery that has effects on different patient aspects. The optimal UD method should be technically simple, functionally effective, and socially satisfying. The persistent controversy over the optimal method of UD is the rationale for conducting this study, given the characteristics of the population in our region. Simple UD methods include ureterocutaneous and ileal conduit (IC).

aimTo compare the surgical outcomes and to identify the factors influencing quality-of-life (QoL) after RC with cutaneous ureterostomy (CU) with separate stomata or IC.

methodsA prospective non-randomized study was performed on patients who underwent RC from October 2020 to March 2022. The demographic and clinical characteristics and QoL were compared in patients with IC and unilateral CU with separate stomata. The primary outcome was the difference in the QoL scores between patients with CU (group A) and those with IC (group B). QoL was assessed 6 months after surgery, using the validated Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Bladder questionnaire.

resultsThis study included 32 patients with a median age (range) of 61 (48-83) years and a median (range) body mass index of 23.95 (19.2-30.2) kg/m

conclusionUnilateral CU with separate stomata may be associated with higher rates of postoperative anemia and urinary tract infections. However, IC seems to be associated with better QoL and febrile urinary tract infections. Increased serum creatinine level, recurrent infections, and re-interventions may influence the QoL score. Unilateral CU with separate stomata may still represent an option for patients undergoing RC.
