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

introductionThe important part of radical prostatectomy (RP) for high risk (HR) is extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND). This method consists of two stages of surgery usually performed at the compartment (pre- or transperineally).

aimWe present our new combined technique of RP using two different approaches: a pre-peritoneal approach for laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and a transperitoneal approach for ePLND. MATERIAL AND

methodsThis study included 30 patients aged 53 to 75 years (mean age: 64 years) with prostate cancer who underwent LRP and ePLND using a combined technique. After the pre-peritoneal LRP, transposition of the trocars into the peritoneal cavity was performed without changing their location, except the extreme left trocar, which was inserted through a new approach.

resultsThe total duration of surgery was 155 to 290 min (mean: 215 min); ePLND lasted from 35 to 85 min (mean: 56 min). The movement of trocars into the peritoneal cavity was a very simple maneuver, taking up to 1 min without any complications. The number of removed lymph nodes (LNs) ranged from 13 to 28 (mean: 16.8). A positive margin was found in 5 (16%) patients. We recognized positive nodes in 9 (30%) patients.

conclusionsThe combined technique is both feasible and safe. Performing the most difficult maneuver, removal of the prostate, in the first stage appears to be more comfortable for the operator. The timing of the PLND stage in the combined technique and the number of removed LNs do not differ from the standard lenticular access.
