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

Postoperative urinary incontinence (UI) is one of the most common complications affecting the quality of life in prostate cancer patients. Traditional nursing models mainly rely on outpatient guidance, making it difficult to provide continuous and dynamic rehabilitation support, and patient compliance is generally low. A personalized nursing model based on the WeChat platform offers a new strategy for managing postoperative UI through real-time interaction, training delivery, and individualized feedback. This study enrolled 123 patients with postoperative UI after radical prostatectomy, divided into a WeChat education group (n=65) and a traditional nursing group (n=58). Baseline characteristics, including UI severity and quality of life scores, were comparable between groups. After six months of follow-up, the WeChat group showed a 120 mL reduction in 24-hour urine leakage, an average decrease of 5.8 points in ICIQ-SF score, and an improvement of 0.18 in EQ-5D score-all significantly better than the traditional group (P<0.01). The WeChat group also demonstrated higher compliance (92%) and nursing satisfaction scores (9.2/10) than the traditional group (P<0.01). Multivariate linear regression analysis identified compliance, initial urine leakage volume, and age as independent predictors of UI improvement, while surgical approach and lymph node dissection were not significantly associated. These findings suggest that the WeChat-based nursing model effectively improves postoperative urinary continence and quality of life, offering a scalable, efficient, and individualized digital nursing strategy for managing UI after prostatectomy.
