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

This study assessed the feasibility of dynamic transperineal ultrasound (TPUS) pre/post-radical prostatectomy (RP). Ninety-eight patients were scanned pre-operatively and at four time-points post-operatively. TPUS was performed in 98 patients using an abdominal transducer at rest, during pelvic floor contraction (PFC) and Valsalva (VS) maneuver in supine and standing positions. Urodynamic evaluations included bladder neck angle at rest/PFC/VS, and degree of bladder neck movement. Pre-operative and post-operative measurements were technically feasible in >85% (supine) and >90% (standing) of patients. TPUS offers a reliable non-invasive dynamic assessment of the pelvic floor post-prostatectomy and may prove a useful adjunct for guiding exercises to preserve continence.
