Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy is pushing the boundaries: a national survey of frailty using the national surgical quality improvement program.
Article in Therapeutic advances in urology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Background: Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has been found to be comparable and, in some cases, favorable to open surgical approaches, while being used in a frailer population. Objectives: We aimed to illustrate the trend in population frailty and compare morbidity and mortality postoperatively in patients who underwent RARP. Design and Methods: The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program data set was used to select patients who underwent RARP between the years 2011-2019. Age, frailty indicators, surgical characteristics, and perioperative morbidity and mortality were compared between the years 2011-2019 using the chi-square test (χ Results: Our patient population consisted of 66,683 patients who underwent RARP. There was an increase in mean age and frailty indicated by an increase in 5-item frailty score ⩾2, metabolic syndrome index = 3, and American Society of Anesthesiologists' (ASA) class ⩾3 between the years 2011-2019 ( Conclusion: RARP is being performed on more frail patients, with no added morbidity or mortality.
