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

Retzius-sparing RARP (RS-RARP) is a modification of the standard RARP technique that traditionally requires clips to control the pedicles. We aimed to retrospectively analyze the operative, oncological, and functional outcomes of this altogether 'clipless' approach to RS-RARP from our centre. The study was conducted as a retrospective audit in our department. We included consecutive patients who underwent clipless-RS-RARP in our centre from February 2023 to December 2023. The clipless RS-RARP was done with the daVinci Xi system in all cases (primary surgeon-author WAC). No clips were used in these procedures and the preoperative, intra-operative, and postoperative data were recorded with at least 3 months of follow-up. Continence was defined as zero pad usage. A total of 138 patients underwent RS-RAP using the clipless technique during the study period. The median age was 64 years, with a median BMI of 27.25 kg/m
