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

Objective: We reviewed our institutional experience of radical prostatectomy with and without preoperative multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) to assess the impact of preoperative prostate mpMRI on surgical outcomes of radical prostatectomy. Methods: We identified patients at our institution who underwent radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer (PCa) between January 2012 and December 2017 ( Results: There were no significant differences in operative time, EBL, PSM, lymph node yield, or complication rates between the two cohorts. Multivariable analysis demonstrated that preoperative mpMRI was not predictive of the measured perioperative outcomes. Significant comorbidity (Charlson Comorbidity Index ≥3) was the sole predictor of perioperative complications ( Conclusions: Although preoperative mpMRI has an important role in the diagnosis and staging of PCa, it does not impact perioperative radical prostatectomy outcomes. Our findings do not support the routine use of preoperative mpMRI for surgical planning in patients already diagnosed with clinically localized PCa.
