Longer preserved urethral length in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy significantly contributes to post-operative urinary continence recovery.
Article in BJUI compass, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Objectives: To assess the relationship between the surgical procedure of robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) and urinary continence recovery by reviewing the video database. Methods: Video and data about men diagnosed with prostate cancer and underwent RARP were extracted and reviewed. Preserved urethral length (PUL) was semi-quantitatively measured using the lateral width of a 16-Fr urethral balloon catheter while cutting the urethra on a video screen. In addition, by reviewing intraoperative RARP video database, other surgical skill outcomes were also collected. Kaplan-Meier analysis with log-rank test was used to compare the urinary continence recovery rate, stratified by the PUL. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the Cox proportional hazards model, and Results: The number of patients included in this study was 213. In univariate analysis, a PUL of ≥16 mm, a body mass index of <23.1 kg/m Conclusion: These results suggest that patients with longer PUL in RARP have a significantly higher rate of post-operative urinary continence recovery.
