Peri-operative outcomes of open, laparoscopic and robotic simple prostatectomy.
Article in BJU international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveTo compare peri-operative outcomes and trends in open (OSP), laparoscopic (LSP) and robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP). MATERIALS AND
methodsWe used German Nationwide Inpatient Data (GRAND), provided by the Research Data Centre of the Federal Bureau of Statistics, and performed multiple patient-level analyses.
resultsBetween 2013 and 2023, 46 234 simple prostatectomies were performed in Germany for benign prostatic hyperplasia without concomitant bladder stones. Of these, 44 194 (96%) were performed with an open, 724 (1%) with a laparoscopic, and 1335 (3%) with a robotic approach. Among patients undergoing OSP, 11 755 (27%) cases were performed with a transcapsular and 32 439 (73%) with a transvesical approach. We compared transcapsular OSP vs RASP and LSP. The adoption of RASP increased exponentially during the period studied, while the use of OSP gradually declined, and that of LSP remained stable. In multivariable regression analyses, in-hospital transfusions were lower for LSP (6.5%; odds ratio [OR] 0.46, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.34-0.62, P < 0.001) and RASP (7.3%; OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.47-0.72, P < 0.001) compared to OSP (13%). In-hospital urinary retention was significantly less frequent after LSP (4.6%; OR 0.46, 95% CI 0.32-0.65, P < 0.001) and RASP (6.4%; OR 0.68, 95% CI 0.54-0.85, P < 0.001) compared to OSP (9.3%). The median (interquartile range) hospital stay was 9 (8-12) days for OSP, 7 (6-9) days for RASP (P < 0.001) and 4 (4-7) days for LSP (P < 0.001). Transcapsular OSP was associated with a lower risk of intensive care unit admission (P < 0.001) and shorter hospital stay (P < 0.001) compared to transvesical OSP.
conclusionOur results showed that RASP is rapidly growing and offers better peri-operative outcomes compared to OSP.
