Early patient-reported outcomes and decisional regret after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: A prospective single-center cohort study.
Observational study in Journal of robotic surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
This study aimed to evaluate the association between early postoperative patient-reported outcomes and decisional regret at 6 months following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. A prospective, single-center observational study was conducted of 105 patients who underwent robot-assisted radical prostatectomy at a single-center hospital in Korea between May 2023 and December 2024. Quality of life and surgical satisfaction were assessed at 1 month and 6 months postoperatively using EORTC QLQ-PR25 and SSQ-8. Decisional regret was measured at 6 months using the Decisional Regret Scale, with a cutoff score of 25 defining higher regret. Three sequential logistic models were constructed. Model 1 included only baseline and perioperative clinical and pathological variables. Model 2 incorporated 1- month patient-reported outcomes and was considered an exploratory early prediction model. Model 3 additionally included 6-month patient-reported outcomes and was interpreted as an exploratory concurrent explanatory model. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to evaluate model discrimination. A total of 105 patients were analyzed. Model 1 demonstrated limited ability to predict decisional regret at 6 months (area under the curve (AUC = 0.631). Incorporating 1-month patient-reported outcomes improved discriminative performance (model 2, AUC = 0.728), while including 6-month patient-reported outcomes further improved discrimination (model 3, AUC = 0.849). Patient-reported satisfaction at 1 month was independently associated with decisional regret at 6 months in model 2. Model 3 showed a strong concurrent association between 6-month satisfaction and decisional regret. Early postoperative patient-reported satisfaction may serve as a preliminary indicator for decisional regret following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy. Incorporating early satisfaction assessment into routine care could help identify patients at high risk of regret and support timely patient-centered counseling for patients at risk of postoperative decisional regret.
