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

purposeSame-day discharge (SDD) after robotic prostatectomy is an increasingly common paradigm for carefully selected patients. The single-port (SP) platform is associated with reduced length of stay (LOS) compared with multiport (MP) in prior studies. We assessed the association of SP versus MP with SDD rates, LOS, and 30-day complications for radical and simple prostatectomies.

methodsThe 2022-2023 NSQIP database was queried for patients undergoing radical or simple prostatectomy. Multivariable negative binomial regression analysis identified predictors of LOS, while logistic regression analyses identified predictors of SDD and complications.

results12,504 radical (12,337 MP, 167 SP) and 519 simple prostatectomies (492 MP, 27 SP) met inclusion criteria. SP was associated with significantly reduced LOS in both radical (IRR = 0.59 [0.49-0.72], p < 0.05) and simple prostatectomy (IRR = 0.65 [0.42-0.99], p < 0.05) compared with MP. Use of SP was additionally associated with increased SDD in radical prostatectomy (OR = 5.25 [3.68-7.48], p < 0.05), but not simple (OR = 2.86 [0.38-14.4], p = 0.2). There were no significant differences in 30-day complications between SP and MP for either radical or simple prostatectomies.

conclusionIn this NSQIP study, SP-radical prostatectomy was associated with markedly higher SDD rates and reduced LOS compared with MP, while SP-simple prostatectomy was associated with reduced LOS. Neither procedure showed significantly increased 30-day complications, though the study was not powered to detect small differences in adverse event rates. These findings support continued investigation into platform-specific versus practice-level contributions to SDD.
