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

Background and objective: The results of comparing standard Robotic-assisted Radical Prostatectomy (S-RARP) and Retzius-sparing Robotic-assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RS-RARP) in treating early urinary continence (UC), oncological outcomes, operation time, and perioperative morbidity in patients with clinically localized prostate cancer were analyzed. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 120 cases of RS-RARP performed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical University from October 2019 to March 2025. Among them, 60 cases underwent standard Robotic-assisted Radical Prostatectomy (S-RARP), and 60 cases underwent Retzius-sparing Robotic-assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RS-RARP). The clinical data, perioperative indicators, and surgical outcomes of the two groups of patients were compared. Results: All 120 surgeries were successfully completed. The operation time (mean ± SD) of the S-RARP group was (138.97 ± 47.24) minutes, and that of the RS-RARP group was (150.78 ± 51.72) minutes. There was no statistically significant difference ( Conclusions: Retzius-sparing Robotic-assisted Radical Prostatectomy is beneficial for improving the early recovery of urinary incontinence in patients.
