Fig. 1 Flow diagram outlining search results and final included and excluded studies. BCa=bladder cancer; MIBC=muscle-invasive bladder cancer; IVC=intravesical chemotherapy; RCT=randomized controlled trial; RFI=recurrence-free interval.

Fig. 4 Funnel plot examining the possibility of publication bias. The plot was created by comparing the variance with effect size in publications comparing recurrence-free interval of patients receiving intravesical chemotherapy versus controls. SE=standard error.
