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

The association between age at surgery and urinary continence (UC) recovery after Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP) is not well established. We addressed this knowledge gap, relying on a large series of 1,417 patients treated with RS-RARP at a high-volume centre between 2010 and 2021. Multivariable logistic models, as well as LOESS plot functions were performed. The probability of immediate, as well as 12-month UC-recovery progressively declined with increasing age at surgery, and per 5-years age at surgery increase reached the independent predictor status for both immediate and 12-month UC-recovery. These findings may significantly improve the quality of patient counseling regarding RS-RARP.
