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

Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prevalent in the aging male population, presented a unique surgical challenge in a 58-year-old patient with a history of multiple pelvic and hip surgeries, precluding conventional lithotomy and transurethral approaches. This report introduces an innovative, single-port transvesical robot-assisted simple prostatectomy with total urethral preservation. This pioneering technique, tailored for complex BPH management, demonstrated its efficacy and potential through favorable postoperative outcomes. This report underscores single-port transvesical robot-assisted simple prostatectomy with total urethral preservation as a promising surgical option for patients with BPH who are unable to assume the lithotomy position.
