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 how morbid obesity influences perioperative and oncological outcomes following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar, covering publications up to June 2025. Eligible studies included those that compared outcomes between patients with morbid obesity (defined as BMI ≥ 40 kg/m
