ReviewTherapeutic advances in urology
Anatomical, surgical and technical factors influencing continence after radical prostatectomy.
Review in Therapeutic advances in urology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Radical prostatectomy (RP) is the most frequent treatment with curative intent performed for prostate cancer to date. Different surgical approaches (perineal, transperitoneal, and extraperitoneal) and techniques (laparoscopic and robot assisted) have been described to increase the efficiency and potentially diminish the postoperative complications of this procedure. The aim of this narrative review is to investigate and define the factors that influence postprostatectomy urinary continence. We highlighted the anatomical landmarks and the modifications of surgical techniques aimed at improving the continence rates and thus, patient quality of life. After RP, the long-term continence rates range from 84% to 97%. In order to achieve good continence rates, a careful dissection along with meticulous anatomical reconstruction is required. To this end, a detailed knowledge of the periprostatic anatomy is mandatory.
