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

Introduction: Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy is associated with better perioperative outcomes than those of open simple prostatectomy. We report the outcomes of two cases treated with robot-assisted simple prostatectomy. Case Presentation: The first patient was an 81-year-old man with a prostate volume of 139 mL. The second patient was a 77-year-old man with a prostate volume of 98 mL. Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy was performed using Da Vinci Xi. The operative times and enucleated weights for the first and second patients were 210 min and 82 g, and 191 min and 53 g, respectively. Postoperative uroflowmetry of the first and second patients revealed maximum flow rates and postvoid residual volumes of 32.5 mL/s and 15 mL at 6 months postoperatively, and 22.1 mL/s and 6 mL at 1 month postoperatively, respectively. Conclusion: Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy is useful for large prostates.
