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
objectiveTo understand the social representations of radical prostatectomy from the perspective of men undergoing surgery.
methodQualitative, descriptive research, based on the theory of Social Representations. Sixty men diagnosed with prostate cancer and undergoing radical prostatectomy, who were assisted in a municipality in southern Minas Gerais, participated. Data collection took place between February and September 2022, through interviews and access to medical records. The characterization data were tabulated and presented in absolute and relative frequency and the qualitative data were transcribed and analyzed using the Collective Subject Discourse method.
resultsEleven Central Ideas were identified, associated with negative impacts on sexual and urinary functions and male identity; with neutrality, through satisfactory adaptation and positive perceptions: healing, relief and satisfaction; and with decision and confidence in the surgical procedure.
conclusionSocial representations revealed a complexity of experiences related to satisfaction, adaptation and dissatisfaction with post-surgical results.
