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
introductionThis study examined whether there is a relationship between vitamin D levels and post-prostatectomy incontinence (PPI).
methodsWe included patients from our tertiary center who underwent robotic radical prostatectomy (RP) and had their serum vitamin D levels assessed no more than three months before the procedure. Continence status was recorded at one, three, six, and 12 months postoperatively. Urinary continence was defined as either no urine leak or using a pad to feel secure against potential minimal leakage. Patients were divided into groups according to continence status at the 12
resultsThe entire study cohort consisted of 318 patients. The rate of PPI was 14.5%. Since the mean age, body mass index, and prostate volume were significantly higher in group 2 than in group 1, propensity score matching was applied. Before and after propensity score matching, serum vitamin D levels were higher in group 1 than in group 2 at the 12
conclusionsSerum vitamin D may be an essential marker in regaining continence in the early period after RP.
