Comparison of outcomes of robot-assisted vs. open or laparoscopic of radical prostatectomy: a population-based cohort study.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
We studied perioperative outcomes, postoperative complications, and survival rates for open radical prostatectomy (ORP), laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) and robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Taiwan's entire 2018-2021 National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) was linked with the cancer registration file to conduct a retrospective cohort study. A total of 4883 patients with localized (or locally advanced) prostate cancer (PCa) who underwent ORP, RARP, or LRP from 2018 to 2021 were analyzed. Differences in patient characteristics and perioperative outcomes were assessed before and after inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). RARP accounted for 91.3% of the surgeries, followed by LRP (4.7%) and ORP (4.3%). ORP and LRP were associated with higher blood transfusion rates, longer hospital stays, and ICU admissions compared with RARP. Post-IPTW, RARP exhibited significantly lower rates of perioperative complications and postoperative readmissions compared with ORP and LRP. The postoperative risk profile for RARP was lower compared with those for ORP and LRP.
