A systematic review of robot-assisted simple prostatectomy outcomes by prostate volume.
Synthesis in World journal of urology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
purposeThe aim of our study is to assess the differences in functional outcomes during the perioperative and postoperative period after RASP depending on BPH volume.
methodsWe searched 2 databases: MEDLINE (PubMed) and Google Scholar using the following search query: robot* AND "simple prostatectomy". The search strategy and review protocol are available at Prospero (CRD42024508071).
resultsWe included 25 articles published between 2008 and 2023. Preoperatively, patients with prostate size < 100 cm
conclusionRASP is effective in terms of subjective and objective urination indicators, and a safe procedure for BPH. In the lack of data on implementation of RASP in small prostate volumes, this procedure can be seen as an upper size «limitless» treatment alternative. Currently, comparative data regarding prostate volume is lacking, and future trials with subgroups analysis related to BPH volume might help to address this issue.
