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

To assess the prognostic value of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-derived pelvic and prostatic parameters for long-term urinary continence (UC) following Retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RS-RARP). 253 patients who underwent RS-RARP by a single surgeon were retrospectively collected for analyses. MRI parameters reflecting the transverse and anteroposterior diameters of the pelvis, as well as the depth of the prostate, were measured. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of long-term UC. Immediate UC was achieved in 49.4% of patients, with cumulative rates increasing to 95.3% by 12 months postoperatively. Multivariate analysis identified age, tuberous width index (TWI), and clinical T3 stage as independent predictors of long-term UC after RS-RARP. The TWI, derived from preoperative MRI, is a novel predictor of long-term urinary continence following RS-RARP. Integration of TWI with established clinical parameters into a predictive model can aid in preoperative counseling and surgical planning.
