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

BACKGROUND AND

objectiveRetzius-sparing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (rsRARP) has gained popularity due to superior early continence outcomes compared to standard robotic prostatectomy (sRARP). We evaluate the results of a single surgeon who transitioned from sRARP to rsRARP and compare oncologic and functional outcomes.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed all prostatectomies performed by a single surgeon between June 2018 and October 2020. Perioperative, oncologic, and functional data were collected and analyzed. Patients who underwent sRARP were compared with those who underwent rsRARP.

resultsBoth groups contained 37 consecutive patients each. Preoperative patient characteristics and biopsy results were similar between the two groups. Perioperative outcomes were significant for longer operative room time and higher proportion of T3 tumors in the rsRARP group. Thirty-day complication and readmission rates were similar between groups. There was no difference in early oncologic outcomes, including positive surgical margin rate, biochemical recurrence, and need for adjuvant or salvage treatments. The time to urinary continence and immediate continence rate was superior in the rsRARP group.

conclusionsThe Retzius-sparing approach can be safely adopted by surgeons experienced in sRARP without compromising early oncologic outcomes and with the benefit of improved early continence recovery.
