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

objectiveTo investigate the incidence, location distribution and risk factors of positive surgical margin (PSM) and multifocal PSM after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

methodsWe retrospectively and continuously reviewed clinical and pathological data of 926 patients with RARP performed by a single surgeon in Department of Urology, Peking University First Hospital from January 2019 to May 2024. The median age of the patients was 66 (62-77) years, the median body mass index (BMI) was 24.69 (22.86-26.54) kg/m

resultsThe overall PSM rate was 30.7% (272/926), and the multifocal PSM rate was 13.4% (124/926). The PSM rate in pT3 patients was 45.9% (219/477), while the PSM rate in pT2 patients was 14.0% (62/444). The PSM was primarily distributed in the apex (221 cases, 77.8%), the right peripheral zone (91 cases, 32.0%), and the left peripheral zone (89 cases, 31.3%). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that preoperative variables including tPSA (

conclusionThe apex was the most common site for PSM after RARP. Clinicopathological characteristics reflecting the degree of tumor progression and aggressiveness were associated with the risk of PSM and multifocal PSM. Patients with multifocal PSM had a higher risk of BCR.
