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

Objective: Radical prostatectomy (RP) is considered the gold standard treatment for patients with localized prostate cancer (PCa). All patients undergoing RP, either open, laparoscopic, or robotic, are at risk of developing urinary incontinence after RP. Our study aimed to analyze possible predictors of early postoperative (within 3 months) urinary continence (UC) outcomes following extraperitoneal single-site robot-assisted RP (ss-RARP) for localized PCa. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data from 113 patients with localized PCa who were operated on by a highly experienced surgeon between September 2022 and December 2023. Patient characteristics (age, body mass index, prostate volume, prostate dimensions, preoperative and postoperative membranous urethral length, and percentage of membranous urethra removed) were analyzed using logistic regression to determine the independent factors contributing to short-term UC recovery after extraperitoneal ss-RARP. From the time of urinary catheter removal after surgery, the recovery of UC was followed up every month, and UC was defined as using ≤1 safety pad daily, known as social continence. Results: The proportions of continent patients immediately after urinary catheter removal, 1 month, and 3 months after extraperitoneal ss-RARP were 22%, 49%, and 82%, respectively. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the percentage of membranous urethra removed ( Conclusion: The percentage of membranous urethra removed, prostate volume, craniocaudal dimension of the prostate, and age are independent risk factors for social UC early after extraperitoneal ss-RARP.
