Risks and complications of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in patients receiving antiplatelet and/or anticoagulant therapy: a retrospective cohort study in a single institute.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 the study was to evaluate the risk of bleeding complications in patients undergoing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) while taking antiplatelet (AP) and/or anticoagulant (AC) agents. We analyzed the data of 334 patients undergoing RARP from May 2015 to May 2019. Patients were categorized into AP, AC, and control groups; the bleeding complications were compared among them. The end points were the estimated blood loss, decrease in hemoglobin level, and bleeding complications. The patient characteristics did not differ significantly among groups, with the exception of ASA scores, which were significantly higher in the AP and AC groups vs. the control group. The estimated blood loss and hemoglobin decrease were not significantly different between the AP and AC groups and the control group. The frequency of bleeding complications did not differ significantly between the AP and the control groups, but was significantly higher in the AC vs. the control group (4.3% in the AP and 23.5% in the AC group vs. 3.7% in the control group; P = 0.63 and P < 0.01, respectively). There was no significant difference in bleeding complications between the AP continuation (continuation of a single AP) and the AP interruption group or between the heparin bridging and the AC interruption group. All bleeding complications observed in the AC group occurred after resuming AC therapy. RARP can be performed safely with continuation of a single AP, and in patients taking ACs by interrupting these agents or via heparin bridging, without increasing intraoperative bleeding, whereas postoperative bleeding complications may increase after resuming ACs.
