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

backgroundProstate cancer is common among men, and radical surgery is the primary treatment. Surgery, however, can affect both physical and mental health, including anxiety, depression, and quality of life (QoL).

aimTo assess the effect of radical prostatectomy on psychological status and QoL in patients with prostate cancer.

methodsThis observational study included 102 patients undergoing radical prostatectomy between June 2024 and April 2025. Pain (numerical rating scale), Hamilton Anxiety Scale, Hamilton Depression Scale, and QoL (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 and short-form 36) were evaluated before and after surgery.

resultsAt one month postoperatively, the mean European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 score increased significantly from 60.72 ± 5.37 preoperatively to 86.48 ± 7.52 (

conclusionRadical prostatectomy improves psychological health and the QoL of patients with prostate cancer. These results may help to inform future therapies.
