Inguinal hernia leads to worse immediate urinary continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectivesPatients with inguinal hernia (IH) may have voiding dysfunction and weak urethra-stabilizing periurethral fascial tissues, contributing to urinary incontinence. This study aimed to review the association between IH and urinary continence after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).
methodsThis single-institution retrospective study included 251 consecutive cases of RARP between April 2019 and June 2022. Patients with concurrent IH or a history of adult IH repair were examined. The urine loss rate (ULR), defined as 24-h urine loss volume divided by the total urine volume immediately after urinary catheter removal (i.e., 6 or 7 postoperative days), was compared between the groups with (n = 33) and without IH (n = 214). Possible contributing factors for ULR were assessed, including age, body mass index (BMI), after benign prostatic hyperplasia surgery, prostate weight, and nerve-sparing. ULR was compared intergroup after propensity score matching countering selection biases.
resultsPatients with IH were older (71.3 versus. 66.8 years, p < 0.01), had lower BMI (22.8 versus. 24.3, p < 0.01), and had higher ULR (14.5% versus. 5.1%, p < 0.01). In a multiple linear regression analysis (adjusted R
conclusionsThis study first reported that IH may be one of the risk factors of urinary incontinence after RARP.
