Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy in patient with previous intersphincteric resection for rectal cancer.
Article in IJU case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Introduction: There are often opportunities to consider treatment strategies for synchronous or metachronous prostate cancer with colorectal cancer. Performing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer following previous rectal cancer surgery in cases involving anal-preserving surgeries such as low anterior resection or intersphincteric resection can be challenging because of the possibility of adhesions. Case presentation: A 74-year-old man who had undergone laparoscopic intersphincteric resection for rectal cancer was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The patient desired to undergo robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. During surgery, we observed the absence of Denonvillier's fascia on the dorsal surface of the prostate, the intestinal anastomosis was distal to the vesicourethral anastomosis, and the rectum was replaced with a peristaltic sigmoid colon with minimal adhesions. Conclusion: Periprostatic conditions vary depending on previous rectal surgical approaches. It is crucial to confirm the previous surgical approach for rectal cancer when performing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy following rectal cancer surgery.
