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

backgroundTotally intracorporeal robotic-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) has perceived difficulties compared to open radical cystectomy (ORC). As the technique is increasingly adopted around the world, the benefits of RARC with intra- or extracorporeal urinary diversion or ORC for the patients are still unclear. In this article, we consider the current evidence for this issue.

methodsWe assessed two questions through using expert opinion and the medical literature: (A) Is RARC better than ORC for removing the cancer surgery and outcome? (B) Is RARC better than ORC for the urinary diversion? OUTCOMES: (A) RARC is better than ORC for shorter length of stay, blood loss and complication rates. (B) Intracorporeal orthotopic neobladder may have a significant physiological and surgical benefit to the patient recovery.

conclusionsRARC with total intracorporeal reconstruction has potential benefits to the patient. We recommend that all surgeons document patient-related outcome measures, urodynamics and enhanced recovery protocols for cystectomy patients to help us understand the real improvements within bladder cancer surgery and reconstruction.
