A single-center, retrospective review of robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy with and without cryopreserved umbilical cord allograft in improving continence recovery.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of cryopreserved umbilical cord (UC) allograft as a nerve wrap around the neurovascular bundle (NVB) in accelerating return to continence after radical prostatectomy. A single-center, retrospective study was performed on 200 patients who underwent bilateral, nerve-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with and without placement of UC around the NVBs (n = 100/group). Patients were excluded if they had previous simple or transurethral prostatectomy or history of pelvic radiation. Post-operative continence, defined as 0 or 1 safety pad, was analyzed between groups at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. Complications, biochemical recurrence and adverse events were assessed to determine safety. Patients who underwent RARP with UC were significantly more likely to be continent at 1 month (65% vs. 44%, p = 0.018), 3 months (83% vs. 70%, p = 0.03), and 12 months (97% vs. 87%, p = 0.009). Sample stratification revealed that UC is beneficial for obese patients and those > 60 years, both of which are high risk for post-RARP incontinence. Biochemical failure was noted in 2 (UC) and 4 (control) patients. No adverse events or complications related to UC were observed. The results suggest that UC allograft is safe and accelerates continence recovery in post-RARP patients. Prospective, randomized trials are warranted.
