Patient-reported outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy and institutional learning curve for functional outcomes.
Article in Urology annals. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: The study was performed to examine patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in the 1 Materials and Methods: The subjects were 320 consecutive patients who underwent RARP from 2014 to 2018. These cases were divided into three groups treated in the early, middle, and late periods, with about 100 cases in each. PROs were recorded using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC). Results: There were no significant differences among the early, middle, and late periods based on EPIC scores. Urinary function and bother decreased in the 1 Conclusion: The functional results of this study based on PROs are useful for providing information for patients. Interestingly, the institutional learning curves for RARP differed in cases that did and did not undergo a nerve-sparing procedure.
