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

Objectives: This study aims to identify immediate and long-term predictors of postoperative urinary continence recovery after robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) in a cohort of 1061 patients, enabling risk stratification and informing potentially modifiable perioperative strategies across patient subgroups. Patients and methods: Prospectively collected data from 1061 patients who underwent RARP between 2016 and 2021 at a single high-volume hospital were analysed. Urinary continence was evaluated immediately after surgery ( Results: Immediately after catheter removal, 34.8% of patients were continent. Younger age, shorter catheterization duration, Retzius-sparing approach and nerve-sparing techniques were significant predictors ( Conclusion: Younger age, shorter catheterization, the Retzius-sparing approach and nerve-sparing surgical techniques were predictive for immediate continence after RARP and represent modifiable factors that should be considered where appropriate. For long-term continence, intraoperative nerve-sparing is particularly crucial.
