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

Recently, urological surgery has undergone remarkable technological advances and these new technologies are being adapted to a wide array of medical fields. Robotic-assisted laparoscopic procedures are not limited to radical prostatectomy, but include partial nephrectomy, pyeloplasty, radical cystectomy, and more. Perioperative infection control measures are not limited to the selection, method, and duration of antimicrobials, but include new evidence about smoking cessation, abstinence from alcohol, blood glucose control, and nutritional status assessment as well as time off just before operations. The new 2023 JUA guidelines for the prevention of perioperative infections in the urological field include general remarks and itemized discussion. We chose three standard treatments related to background questions and nine clinical questions. Although we have organized information to the best of our ability, there are still many areas where evidence is lacking. We anticipate that urology specialists will continue to report new findings and accumulate more evidence regarding unresolved areas for the next revision.
