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/
objectivesThe incidence of bladder cancer has been increasing within the aging population. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT) is the first-line treatment for bladder cancer, serving both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. In this study, we aimed to investigate the incidence and predictors of postoperative complications following TURBT in a general hospital with a high proportion of older patients.
methodsWe analyzed 141 Japanese patients retrospectively who had undergone TURBT for clinically diagnosed bladder cancer between January 2018 and December 2023. Postoperative complications occurring within 30 days were reviewed from medical records, and risk factors were evaluated.
resultsPostoperative complications were observed in 49 patients (34.8%), with 28 patients (20%) classified as Clavien-Dindo grade I and 21 (15%) as grade II or higher. In univariable analysis, factors significantly associated with postoperative complications included older age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.04;
conclusionsTURBT appears feasible in older patients when performed by experienced surgeons. Age alone should not be considered a limiting factor for surgical eligibility.
