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.

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

Robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is the most common robotic surgical procedure, but there are little published data to inform anaesthetic practice. We aimed to characterise the range of anaesthetic practice for RALP in the United Kingdom through a national survey. We conducted an online national survey to determine current anaesthetic practice for RALP. The survey was distributed to all NHS hospitals within the UK that perform RALP. Thirty-four (79%) of 43 hospitals responded to the survey. Fourteen (41%) centres routinely provide spinal anaesthesia and 79% of these use diamorphine as their intrathecal opioid of choice. Thirty-one (91%) centres administer intravenous strong opioids intraoperatively, and a wide range of non-opioid analgesic agents are also administered. Five (15%) centres reported that they discharge a minority of patients on the day of surgery. High-volume centres are more likely to have a formalised enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) pathway and to provide ambulatory surgery for selected patients. This represents the first UK national survey of anaesthetic practice for RALP. The results of the survey revealed significant variation in anaesthetic practice implying a lack of consensus on best perioperative management.
