Impact of positive surgical margin location after radical prostatectomy: a network meta-analysis.
Review in World journal of urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
objectiveTo perform a network meta-analysis comparing the impact of different positive surgical margin locations (Comparisons and intervention) on biochemical recurrence (Outcome) in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (Population).
methodsAccording to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines, a protocol was registered (PROSPERO: CRD42022119025) and a search across four databases was conducted (the MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase and Cochrane). The primary outcome was biochemical recurrence (BCR). A network meta-analysis was conducted. Further subgroup analysis was performed to evaluate studies exploring robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP).
resultsOur search yielded 1249 unique results; 22 studies were analysed. Anterior margins had the highest risk of BCR (HR 2.46, 95%CI 1.67-3.61, I
conclusionsThe risk of BCR after radical prostatectomy varies by PSM location, with the highest recurrence risk observed at anterior margins.
