Can men 75 and older safely receive a minimally invasive radical prostatectomy?
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Men 75 and older presenting with localized prostate cancer have traditionally not been managed with surgery. Therefore, we compared the morbidity and operative outcomes of radical prostatectomy (RP) in men 75 and older to their younger counterparts. We utilized the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database to gather subjects who received a minimally invasive RP (CPT: 55866) from 2016 to 2020. This cohort was then stratified by age to compare men 18-74 years old and men 75 and older. The preclinical profile, complications, and outcomes were analyzed. Chi-square and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze categorical and continuous variables, respectively. Of the 48,485 men identified, 2,009 (4.1%) were ≥ 75 years old. Within the 75 and older cohort, the median age was 76 (IQR: 75-78), the median BMI was 27.3 (IQR: 24.9-29.9), and 1,601 (79.7%) were Caucasian. Men 75 and older had higher rates of Clavien 3 (1.3% vs. 0.8%, p = 0.02) and Clavien 4 (7.8% vs. 5.0%, p < 0.001) complications. Reoperative rates (1.7% vs. 1.1%, p = 0.01), readmission rates (6.5% vs. 4.1%, p < 0.001), and mortality (0.4% vs. 0.1%, p < 0.001) were all higher in men 75 and older. Multivariate analysis shows older age to be a risk factor for readmission (OR 1.58, 95%CI 1.31-1.90). Complications and 30-day outcomes remain within an acceptable range to offer surgery in men 75 and older. Age alone should not disqualify men from receiving a RP, but appropriate patient selection and counseling are necessary.
