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

introductionCreation of a watertight vesicourethral anastomosis is a challenging and time-consuming procedure. In an attempt to simplify this critical step of radical prostatectomy we have developed a laparoscopic running single suture technique and presented preliminary results previously. Here we report our two-year experience with the Chlosta's single running suture technique. MATERIAL AND

methodsBetween January 2013 and June 2014, 60 consecutive patients underwent laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with a running vesicourethral anastomosis using our modified technique for clinically localized prostate cancer. Analyses of the patients' data from a prospectively maintained database with respect to perioperative characteristics, morbidity and urinary continence was performed.

resultsThe mean anastomotic time was 10.2 min. There was no clinically significant anastomotic leakage observed. Only 3 patients developed perioperative morbidity, but none of them was classified as major. Bladder neck contracture occurred in only one man and it was managed endoscopically. Overall continence rates at 3, 6, 12, and 18 months were 73%, 85%, 96.7%, and 95%, respectively, and 76.8%, 89.3%, 96.4%, and 96.4%, respectively when analysis was limited to those without adjuvant radiotherapy.

conclusionsObtained results confirm our initial observation from the preliminary report and support the use of our single running suture for the vesicourethral anastomosis in LRP.
