Cancer-Specific Survival of Trimodal Therapy Versus Radical Cystectomy in T2N0M0 Non-Urothelial Bladder Cancer.
Article in Journal of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
introductionWe hypothesized that, within organ-confined (OC, T2N0M0) non-urothelial carcinoma of urinary bladder (non-UCUB) patients, trimodal therapy (TMT) use does not differ from radical cystectomy (RC) regarding cancer control outcomes.
methodsWithin the SEER database (2004-2021), rates of TMT versus RC use in OC non-UCUB patients were calculated. Nearest-neighbor 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) for age, sex, race/ethnicity, and histological subtype was applied. Cumulative incidence plots depicted 5-year cancer-specific (CSM) and other-cause mortality (OCM) rates. Multivariable competing risks regression (CRR) models were fitted. Sensitivity analyses were performed within squamous cell (SCC), neuroendocrine (NEC), and adenocarcinoma (ADK) and other histological subtypes.
resultsOf 814 OC non-UCUB patients, 310 (38%) received TMT versus 504 (62%) RC. After PSM, 5-year CSM rate was 50% after TMT versus 29% after RC and TMT was associated with 2.1-fold higher CSM relative to RC (multivariable HR [mHR]: 2.1, p < 0.001). In sensitivity analyses within 229 (28%) SCC, TMT patients had higher 5-year CSM rates relative to their RC-counterparts (67% vs. 22%, mHR: 4.3, p < 0.001). Similarly, within 314 (39%) NEC, TMT patients had higher 5-year CSM rates relative to their RC-counterparts (mHR: 1.8, p < 0.001). Conversely, within 118 (28%) ADK and 153 (19%) other subtypes, CSM after TMT did not differ from CSM after RC (33% vs. 15%, mHR: 1.4 and 43% vs. 33%, mHR: 1.4; p = 0.4).
conclusionIn OC non-UCUB patients TMT is associated with significantly higher CSM than RC. Most pronounced survival disadvantage was recorded within SCC and NEC patients.
