Comparison of YouTube videos on single-port and multi-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy using the PACE score.
Article 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 compare the PACE-based procedural demonstration quality of YouTube videos demonstrating single-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (SP-RARP) and multi-port robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (MP-RARP). A cross-sectional analysis of publicly available YouTube videos was performed between January 1 and January 15, 2026. Videos containing real operative footage of SP-RARP or MP-RARP were included only if all seven PACE domains could be assessed. Selected procedural-segment videos were defined as edited operative videos that still included all PACE steps; videos with missing or non-assessable PACE domains were excluded. Video characteristics, source, procedure type, narration, and on-screen annotations were recorded. Comparisons between groups and correlations with total PACE score were analyzed. A total of 141 videos were included: 43 SP-RARP and 98 MP-RARP videos. MP-RARP videos were significantly longer (60 vs. 28 min, p < 0.001), older (2096 vs. 1095 days, p < 0.001), and received more likes (p = 0.029). Academic or official sources were more common among SP-RARP videos (69.8% vs. 51.0%, p = 0.044). Total PACE scores were similar between groups (25.86 ± 5.48 vs. 26.50 ± 4.37, p = 0.501). SP-RARP videos had higher scores for apical dissection and urethro-vesical anastomosis. In MP-RARP videos, video length correlated positively with total PACE score. SP-RARP and MP-RARP videos showed comparable overall PACE-based demonstration quality, although SP-RARP better demonstrated apical dissection and urethro-vesical anastomosis. Step-based assessment appears more useful than engagement metrics when selecting RARP videos.
