TAPESTRY study: impact of prior transurethral resection of the prostate on outcomes after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: a propensity score-matched cohort study.
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
Prior transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) may distort bladder neck and apical anatomy and complicate robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). Its effect on anastomotic recovery and oncological control remains controversial. To evaluate perioperative, anastomotic, pathological, and available PSA outcomes after RARP in patients with and without prior TURP. We retrospectively analyzed a prospectively maintained database of 3,332 consecutive RARP procedures performed between August 2011 and December 2024. Ninety-seven patients with prior TURP were matched 1:3 to 291 TURP-naive controls using propensity scores derived from age, body mass index, clinical stage, ISUP grade, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), positive biopsy cores, and prostate volume. Comparative outcome analyses used available cases within the matched cohort. Baseline characteristics were well balanced after matching. Operative duration was similar between groups (median 135 vs. 139 min; p = .584). Prior TURP was associated with longer catheterization (7 [IQR 4.5-11.5] vs. 6 [4-7] days; p = .004), more cystographies (p = .004), more frequent catheterization beyond 7 days (33.7% vs. 20.1%; p = .011), and a higher rate of complications within 3 months (13.4% vs. 6.2%; p = .030). Cystographic leakage was numerically more frequent after TURP (25.4% vs. 14.8%; p = .061). Pathological stage, nodal positivity, positive surgical margin rate and length, and available PSA outcomes at 1 and 2 years were comparable. After Bonferroni adjustment, catheterization duration and the number of cystographies remained statistically significant. Prior TURP was associated primarily with greater postoperative anastomotic management reflected by longer catheterization and more cystographic follow-up; the observed increase in 3-month complications did not remain significant after correction for multiple comparisons. Available PSA data did not indicate a clear between-group difference, although incomplete follow-up precluded robust conclusions regarding biochemical control.
