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: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in men worldwide. Treatment frequently leads to urinary incontinence (UI), yet no global standard exists, revealing regional disparities. This paper states current research and innovations in managing this complication, offering guidance to improve treatment outcomes and enhance patients' quality of life (QoL). Methods: This study analyzed 2,642 peer-reviewed articles on PCa and UI (January 1991 to November 11, 2024) from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC). Using VOSviewer, Citespace, Excel, R4.4.1, and Pajek, it examined publication trends, country/institution distributions, journal outputs, authorship patterns, and citation networks. Findings highlighted research hotspots, aided by standardized VOSviewer-based preprocessing. Results: The USA and Germany lead research on PCa and UI, with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center publishing the most articles and Harvard University being the most cited institution. Martin G. Sanda is the author with the most publications, and the Conclusions: Recent advances in UI management after PCa, especially RP, have markedly improved patient outcomes. Revised American Urological Association guidelines address these complications and recommend interventions like artificial urinary sphincters, reflecting a global commitment to enhance QoL.
