Early return to continence and potency with use of dehydrated human umbilical cord graft at the time of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: A case study and analysis of relevant literature.
Article in IJU case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
introductionRobot-assisted radical prostatectomy often causes damage to the neurovascular bundle which results in erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence. Recovery may take months; however, dehydrated umbilical cord allografts appear to offer an advantage in terms of a faster return to continence and potency. CASE PRESENTATION: A 67-year-old male, who presented with intermediate-risk prostate cancer, underwent a bilateral nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy and placement of dehydrated human umbilical cord graft. Four weeks post-prostatectomy, the patient reported minimal stress urinary incontinence and erections with 75% rigidity. Three months post-prostatectomy, the patient noted improved continence and erections with 100% rigidity.
conclusionTo our knowledge, this is the second experience reported in the literature evaluating the use of umbilical cord allograft during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, with promising results, and it is the first reported case to analyze potency as an outcome.
