Estimated Blood Loss as a Predictor of Postoperative Continence and Oncologic Outcomes in Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: A Retrospective Analysis of 525 Cases.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to evaluate the relationship of perioperative estimated blood loss (EBL) with peri- and postoperative parameters during the robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) procedure.
methodsIn this retrospective study, data from patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa) who underwent RARP between December 2012 and August 2024 (n = 530) were analyzed. Patients with EBL of 100 ml or less were defined as group 1 (n = 359), and those with EBL exceeding 100 ml were defined as group 2 (n = 166). Perioperative data and postoperative functional and pathologic outcomes were recorded and compared between the two groups.
resultsThe patients in group 2 had longer lymph node dissection time, prostatectomy time, anastomosis time, total operation time, drain removal time, and hospital stay, as well a greater EBL, higher surgical margin ratio, greater positive surgical margin according to pathologic stage, and longer time to reach continence (p = 0.001). No difference was observed between urinary incontinence (UI) scores at the sixth month postoperatively (p = 0.191). A high degree of correlation was observed between EBL and other parameters (drain removal time, hospital length of stay, time to reach continence, prostatectomy time, International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire [ICIQ] total score at the first and third months, and total operation and anastomosis time, respectively; rho-factor ≥ 0.5; p < 0.05). In the multivariate regression analysis, EBL was determined to be a predictive factor for achieving postoperative urinary continence.
conclusionsThe study demonstrated that perioperative EBL is associated with postoperative urinary continence and oncologic outcomes after RARP.
