Application of Denonvilliers' Fascia Arch as an Anatomical Landmark in Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundThis study aims to evaluate the clinical application of Denonvilliers' fascia arch (DFA) as a novel anatomical landmark in laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP), comparing with the conventional extraperitoneal LRP approach. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis retrospective cohort study analyzed 304 patients who underwent LRP between January 2019 and January 2024. Patients were divided into two groups: the experimental group (n = 152), who underwent extraperitoneal LRP using DFA as a landmark, and the control group (n = 152), who underwent conventional LRP. Perioperative outcomes, including surgical time, blood loss, complications, and functional recovery (urinary continence and erectile function), were evaluated. Logistic regression analysis assessed the risk factors for postoperative urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction.
resultsThe experimental group showed significantly improved outcomes. The median surgical time was 134 minutes, compared with 171 minutes in the control group (P < 0.001). Intraoperative blood loss was lower in the experimental group (58 mL vs. 103 mL, P < 0.001). The incidence of rectal injury was lower (1 vs. 9 cases, P = 0.010), and the Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ II complication rate was significantly reduced (3.3% vs. 10.4%, P = 0.013). The experimental group also showed better recovery in urinary continence (30.9% vs. 17.8%, P = 0.008) and erectile function (median IIEF score of 8 vs. 6, P < 0.001).
conclusionsThe use of DFA as a landmark in LRP improves surgical efficiency, reduces complications, and enhances functional recovery compared to the conventional approach. DFA provides an effective method for precise DF identification, offering substantial clinical value in LRP.
