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

purposeWe evaluate differences of patient-reported outcome measurements (PROM) based urinary continence and sexual function 12 months after radical prostatectomy (RPE) based on perioperative, surgical, and patient-specific characteristics in a large European academic urology center. MATERIALS AND

methodsAll men enrolled in the Prostate Cancer Outcome Study (PCO) study who were treated with RPE between 2017 and 2021 completed EPIC-26 information surveys before and 12 months after RPE. Survey data were linked to clinical data of our institution. Logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the correlation between individual surgeons, patient characteristics, patient clinical data, and their urinary continence and sexual function.

resultsIn total, data of 429 men were analyzed: unstratified mean (SD) EPIC-26 domain score for urinary function decreased from 93.3 (0.7) to 60.4 (1.5) one year after RPE, respectively for sexual function from 64.95 (1.6) to 23.24 (1.1). Patients with preoperative adequate urinary function (EPIC-26 score > 80) reported significantly different mean urinary function scores between 53.35 (28.88) and 66.25 (25.15), p= 0.001, stratified by surgeons experience. On binary logistic regression analyses, only nerve sparing techniques (OR: 1,83, 95% CI: 1.01;3.21; p = 0.045) and low body mass index (OR: 0.91, CI: 0.85;0.99, p= 0.032) predicted adequate postoperative urinary function.

conclusionsThe results show how using provider-specific data from a larger cohort study enables to develop institution-specific analysis for functional outcomes after RPE. These models can be used for internal quality improvement as well as enhanced and provider-specific patient communication and shared decision making.
