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

Upper extremity complications are often a problem in robot-assisted pelvic surgery (RAPS) with the lithotomy-Trendelenburg position (LT-position). This study focused on upper extremity contact pressure (UEP) and examined the relationship between UEP and upper extremity complications. From May 2020 to April 2022 at the University of Tokyo Hospital, UEP was measured in 155 patients undergoing RARP and 20 patients undergoing RARC. A total of 350 sets of UEP were investigated in this study. UEP was measured using a portable interface pressure sensor (Palm Q, Cape CO., Kanagawa, Japan) in the preoperative lithotripsy position (L-position), preoperative LT-position, and postoperative L-position. UEP was increased in the preoperative LT-position than in the preoperative L-position (right side 5.2 mmHg vs. 17.1 mmHg, left side 5.3 mmHg vs. 17.1 mmHg, P < 0.001, respectively), and was decreased in the postoperative L-position than in preoperative LT-position (right side 17.1 mmHg vs. 10.8 mmHg, left side 17.1 mmHg vs. 10.6 mmHg, P < 0.001, respectively). Eleven upper extremities developed shoulder pain. UEP of the preoperative LT-position tended to be higher in the upper extremity exhibiting shoulder pain (25.6 mmHg (15.4-30.3) vs. 17.1 mmHg (12.0-24.4) P = 0.0901). UEP measurements may help prevent postoperative shoulder pain.
