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

Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine the influence of the surgical approach for robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) on long-term urinary continence status in the era of self-reported functional status measures using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite 26. Materials and methods: This is a prospective evaluation of 232 patients undergoing RALP between September, 2019 and September, 2020. Urinary continence status and postoperative incontinence (pad usage) were evaluated 12 months after RALP using Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite 26 questionnaires. Patients were categorized according to their surgical approach and outcome into the following groups: successful nerve sparing (NS), primarily without nerve sparing (prim. NNS), and no nerve sparing by secondary resection (NNS by SR). The median levels of their questionnaire outcomes were evaluated and compared using the Wilcoxon rank sum test with continuity correction. Results: Urinary continence status 12 months after RALP differed significantly between the NS and prim. NNS ( Conclusions: Patient-reported outcomes of long-term urinary continence status seem to show no difference in postoperative continence, regardless of whether a non-nerve-sparing result was planned or reached through SR. Instead, preservation of neurovascular bundle seems to lead to better long-term continence rates.
