Neural supply of the male urethral sphincter: comprehensive anatomical review and implications for continence recovery after radical prostatectomy.
Review in World journal of urology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04037800 (Impact of Sustainable Functional Urethral Reconstruction on Early Continence Recovery After Robotic-assisted Radical Prostatectomy), which is not on this map. Cited by 15 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.

Abstract
purposeTo review the anatomical facts of urethral sphincter (US) innervation discovered over the last three decades and to determine the implications for continence recovery after radical prostatectomy (RP).
methodsUsing the PubMed
resultsSeventeen articles on 254 anatomical subjects were reviewed. Coexisting pathways were described in every article. Dissection, histology, simulation or electron microscopy evidence supported arguments for somatic and autonomic pathways. From the most to the least substantiated, somatic sphincteric fibers were described extra- or intrapelvic as: direct from the distal pudendal nerve (PuN), recurrent from the dorsal nerve of the penis, from the proximal PuN with an intrapelvic course, extrapudendal somatic fibers dispersed among autonomic pelvic fibers. From the pelvic plexus, or from the neurovascular bundles, autonomic fibers to the US have been described in 13 of the reviewed articles, with at least each of the available anatomical methods.
conclusionBecause continence depends on a number of factors, it is challenging to delineate the specific impact of periprostatic nerve sparing on continence, but the anatomical data suggest that RP surgeons should steer toward the preservation and protection of these nerves whenever possible.
