Adverse In-hospital Outcomes According to Pelvic Lymph Node Dissection at Partial Cystectomy.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveThis study was designed to test the association between adverse in-hospital outcomes and pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) at partial cystectomy (PC) for nonmetastatic bladder cancer (BCa).
methodsWe identified patients treated with PC for BCa (National Inpatient Sample 2012-2019). First, estimated annual percentage changes (EAPC) tested temporal trends of PLND at PC. Second, descriptive analyses, propensity score matching (PSM, ratio 1:2) and multivariable logistic regression models (LRMs) were used.
resultsOf 1,289 BCa patients treated with PC, 201 (16.0%) underwent PLND. The rates of PLND at PC decreased from 24.8 to 5.4% over the study span (EAPC - 11.3%; p = 0.01). Pelvic lymph node dissection patients were younger (67 vs. 71 years old; p < 0.001), exhibited a lower number of comorbidities (Charlson Comorbidity Index [CCI] 0: 41% vs. 38%; p = 0.006), and were more frequently admitted to teaching (83% vs. 76%; p = 0.03) and large bedsize (69% vs. 57%; p = 0.004) hospitals. After PSM, 201 of 201 (100%) PLND vs. 402 of 1,088 (36.9%) no-PLND at PC patients were included in further analyses. Pelvic lymph node dissection at PC patients only exhibited significantly higher rate of intraoperative complications (9% vs. 3.7%; p = 0.008), but no statistically significant differences in 13 of 14 other categories were recorded (all p values > 0.09). In multivariable LRMs, PLND independently predicted 2.6-fold higher rate of intraoperative complications (p = 0.01).
conclusionsThe rate of PLND drastically decreased over time. PLND vs. no-PLND at PC only resulted in a moderate increase in intraoperative complications without differences in 13 other adverse in-hospital outcomes, which included complications, in-hospital mortality, length of stay, and total hospital charges.
