Physical and mental effects of different radical prostatectomy techniques on urologic surgeons.
Article in PeerJ, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Objective: In this web-based international survey study, we aimed to show an association between physical exhaustion and patient, relatives, and employer-related mental stress for surgeons performing open radical prostatectomy (ORP), laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP), and robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP). Additionally, we also aimed to compare the outcomes of three approaches. Methods: We sent a ten-question survey to the urologists performing ORP, LRP, and RALP Results: A total of 160 urologists completed the survey. The RALP group showed a lower physical exhaustion rate and increased eye strain ( Conclusion: Compared to ORP and LRP, physical exhaustion was lower in the RALP technique. Although the number of participants was limited, regular exercise weakly improved physical exhaustion and musculoskeletal complaints. We believe that regular sports activities by urologists dealing with LRP and RALP will help relieve physical discomfort.
