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 evaluate the use and benefits of tumor navigation during performing robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Patients and Methods: Borders of the visible tumor(s) was/were and surrounding structures marked on multiparametric prostate magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) and Results: Mean patient age was 60.6 ± 3.7 years (range, 56-66). All VR models were finalized with the agreement of radiologist, urologist, nuclear physician, and engineer. Surgeon examined images before the surgery. All VR models were found very useful particularly in pT3 diseases. Pathological stages included pT2N0 (n = 1), pT3aN0 (n = 1), pT3aN1 (n = 2), and pT3bN1 (n = 1). Positive surgical margins (SMs) occurred in two patients with extensive disease (pT3aN1 and pT3bN1) and tumor occupied 30% and 50% of the prostate volumes. Mean estimated blood loss was 150 ± 86.6 cc (range, 100-300). Mean follow-up was 3.4 ± 1.7 months (range, 2-6). No complication occurred during perioperative (0-30 days) and postoperative (30-90 days) periods in any patient. Conclusions: 3D reconstructed VR models by using mpMRI and Ga68 PSMA-PET/CT images can be accurately prepared and effectively applied during RARP that might be a useful tool for tumor navigation. Images show prostate tumors and anatomy and might be a guide for the console surgeon. This is promising new technology that needs further study and validation.
