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 quality of vesicourethral anastomosis (VUA) in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) is associated with complications that could significantly affect quality of life.

aimTo compare different types of sutures (Chlosta's versus Van Velthoven versus V-Loc), used for VUA in LRP in terms of complication rates and continence recovery. MATERIAL AND

methodsPatients who underwent LRP between 2014 and 2018 in a tertiary center were enrolled in the study. Data were extracted from medical records. Urinary continence was assessed at 3, 6, 12 and 18 months after LRP. Propensity score weighted regression models were used to estimate the effect of sutures on outcomes.

resultsA sample of 504 patients was analyzed, of which 109 patients underwent Chlosta's suture VUA, 117 patients had Van Velthoven suture VUA, and 278 patients had V-Loc VUA. Median time of anastomosis was 13 (IQR - interquartile range: 10-16) min using Chlosta's suture, 28 (IQR: 24-30) using Van-Velthoven suture and 12 (IQR: 11-16) min using V-Loc suture (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences between groups concerning complications and urinary continence at 12 and 18 months after surgery. The time of urinary continence recovery was on average 19 days (95% CI: 5-33) and 31 days (95% CI: 16-45) shorter during 1 year of observation when the V-Loc suture was used compared to the Van-Velthoven and Chlosta's suture, respectively.

conclusionsThe study showed comparable results considering urinary continence recovery at 12 and 18 months after LRP in all VUA groups. Van Velthoven VUA was more time-consuming and continence recovery was faster in the V-Loc group.
