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

Objectives: We aim to describe the ProACT implantation using flexible cystoscopic guidance and to report long-term outcomes in these patients. Patients and Methods: This single-centre retrospective study include all men who underwent ProACT™ for SUI after RP using flexible cystoscopic guidance between 2007 and 2021. The implantation was performed via a perineal approach under general or locoregional anaesthesia. Accurate positioning was ensured using both real-time fluoroscopic and endoscopic guidance (flexible cystoscopy retroflexed toward the bladder neck). Results: In total, 196 men were included; 18% ( Conclusion: ProACT® adjustable balloon implantation using flexible cystoscopic guidance appears to be an effective and safe long-term procedure for men with SUI after RP.
