Urinary Continence Recovery after Retzius-Sparing Robot Assisted Radical Prostatectomy and Adjuvant Radiation Therapy.
Article in Cancers, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) allows the preservation of the structures advocated to play a crucial role in the continence mechanism. This study aims to evaluate the association between adjuvant radiation therapy (aRT) and urinary continence (UC) recovery after RS-RARP. For the purpose of the current study, all patients submitted to RS-RARP for prostate cancer (PCa) at a single high-volume European institution between January 2010 and December 2021 were identified. Only patients that harbored pT2 stage with positive surgical margins or pT3/pN1 stage with or without positive surgical margins were included in the analyses. Two groups of patients were identified as follows: patients who had undergone aRT and patients submitted to observation (no-aRT patients). As per definition, aRT was delivered within 1-6 months after surgery. After 1:1 propensity score matching, 124 aRT patients were compared with 124 no-aRT patients who continued standard follow-up protocol after surgery. UC recovery was 81 vs. 84% in aRT vs. no-aRT patients (
