Prognostic evaluation of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer with P-CRP and its nomogram.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: To investigate the impact of the product of preoperative platelet count and C-reactive protein (P-CRP) on the postoperative prognosis of patients with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), and to construct a Nomogram to predict the recurrence-free survival (RFS) of NMIBC patients based on pathological data. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 164 NMIBC patients who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumors (TURBT) at the Second Affiliated Hospital of University of South China from January 2013 to December 2019. The endpoint of the study was the RFS. Kaplan-Meier (KM) method and Cox regression were used for analysis to identify independent factors affecting RFS. Then, the Nomogram was used to visualize the results of the multivariate analysis that were statistically significant and related to the RFS of NMIBC patients. Finally, the predictive ability of the model was evaluated using the concordance index (C-index) and calibration curves. Results: Before the end of the follow-up, the RFS was 88.3% at 1 year, 75.5% at 2 years, and 58.5% at 3 years. KM curves showed that P-CRP (HR=0.357, 95% CI: 0.204-0.625, P<0.001), number of tumors (HR=2.658, 95% CI: 1.572-4.494, P<0.001), tumor size (HR=2.271, 95% CI: 1.377-3.745, P=0.001), T stage of the tumor (HR=2.026, 95% CI: 1.233-3.329, P=0.005), and tumor G grade (G2: HR=1.615, 95% CI: 0.48-5.433, G3: HR=3.361, 95% CI: 1.022-11.054) were independent factors affecting the RFS of NMIBC patients after TURBT. The Nomogram could estimate the risk of tumor recurrence at 1, 2, and 3 years postoperatively. The Nomogram model incorporating P-CRP parameters had a higher predictive accuracy than the classic model that only included EORTC risk group parameters. Conclusion: Preoperative P-CRP has a certain impact on the RFS of NMIBC patients after TURBT. The Nomogram incorporating P-CRP, number of tumors, tumor size, T stage, and tumor pathological grading can better predict the postoperative recurrence risk of NMIBC patients.
