Global research trends on the links between prostate cancer and postoperative urinary incontinence between 2014 and 2024: a bibliometrics and visualized study.
Article in Discover oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
In recent years, the incidence of prostate cancer (PC) has increased. For patients suitable for surgery, surgical treatment is undoubtedly the first-choice. However, radical prostatectomy often leads to postoperative urinary incontinence. As a result, the issue of urinary incontinence following prostate cancer treatment has also come into focus. However, comprehensive and objective research on the overall state of UI after PC treatment remains scarce. This article aims to utilize bibliometrics to summarize and quantify the dynamic trends of UI in PC. We retrieved relevant literature on PC and UI from the Web of Science Core Collection database, spanning from January 1, 2014, to September 8, 2024, and analyzed bibliometric indicators such as the number of articles, journals, countries, institutions, authors, and keywords. A total of 2060 articles were included, and the study shows a continuous growth in the number of publications related to PC and UI, with the United States leading in this field. The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center is the institution with the highest research output, the journal "Urology" published the most articles, and author Matthew R Cooperberg has the highest research output. We recommend active collaboration between countries, institutions, and authors to conduct clinical and basic research. Keyword analysis indicates that current research is primarily focused on side effects following PC treatment, the application of artificial urinary sphincters, and the application of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging in the field of PC and UI. We anticipate that side effects caused by PC treatment will continue to be a hot topic in future research. It has to be admitted that our study only included English literature in the Web of Science database, and there may be some selection bias.
