Article in International urology and nephrology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06754488 (A New Vesicocervical Urethral Reconstruction Technique Improves Urinary Continence in Patients After Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy), which is not on this map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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.

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.

Abstract

purposeTo determine baseline factors and surgical procedures associated with clinically meaningful improvement or deterioration of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed our RARP database and analyzed the changes in the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) at baseline and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively. Multivariable ordinal logistic regression analysis was performed to determine variables that predicted clinically meaningful improvement (∆IPSS ≤ -5) or deterioration (∆IPSS ≥ 5) in LUTS after RARP.

resultsA total of 172 patients were eligible for analysis. Patients aged ≥ 70 reported a higher IPSS before and after RARP (all p < 0.05). Patients with a prostate volume of > 30 mL or body mass index of < 24 kg/m

conclusionOther than baseline LUTS severity, NS was the only independent factor associated with clinically meaningful changes in LUTS after RARP.
