1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundQuality of life is an important parameter for quality assurance of the results. After radical prostatectomy, quality of life is often limited. The degree of urinary incontinence correlates significantly with quality of life.

resultsOncological and functional results are significantly decreased with the age of the patients. On the other hand, the psychological distress of younger patients is significantly greater than in the elderly. In the relative short period of 3-4 weeks of an inpatient rehabilitation in our urology competence center for rehabilitation, the mean decrease of urinary loss (24-h pad test) was 44.4 %. Psychological distress also decreased significantly as measured by the questionnaire on psychological distress FBK-R10 (p < 0.001).

conclusionsWith this, quality of life significantly increased in all function and symptom scales of the QLQ-C30. Thus, this makes reintegration into social life easier. The return to work rate of employed persons after our specific urological rehabilitation program following radical prostatectomy was 87 %.
