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
objectiveAnxiety level in prostate cancer patients is common due to the increase in the incidence of prostate cancer diagnosis. We aimed to search for answers to the following questions such as whether there is preoperative anxiety in patients who will be operated for prostate cancer, what are the risk factors that may cause disease-induced anxiety and the type of surgery especially does robotic surgery reduce patient anxiety.
methodThe patients who were taken into operation were divided into 2 groups as Open Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy-Group 1 and Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy-Group 2. Age, active surveillance history, preoperative prostate spesific antigen (PSA) level, prostate biopsy pathology result, time between prostate biopsy and operation, state and trait anxiety scores of these patients were recorded.
resultThe study was conducted with a total of 149 patients; 61 patients in Group 1 and 88 patients in Group 2. The presence of active surveillance history, time between prostate biopsy and operation and state and trait anxiety levels were not found to be significant between both groups. However, it was concluded that the patients in Group 2 were significantly younger and operated with lower PSA and Gleason scores. The type of surgery had no effect on anxiety levels.
conclusionPreoperative information about the surgical procedure was found to be an effective factor in reducing anxiety. Regardless of the type of surgery we recommend that patients' anxiety should be reduced by explaining the surgical procedure to patients enough and in a way that they can understand.
