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

Historically, open radical nephrectomy (ORN) represented the standard of care for localized renal cell carcinoma (RCC). While the incidence of T1 RCC is rising, treatment options are developing fast and the standard of care according to European and American guidelines has changed to partial nephrectomy (PN), or laparoscopic radical nephrectomy in patients not suitable for PN. To assess the implementation of guideline recommendations and to profile recent surgical and technical innovations, we reviewed the current literature. We observed that ORN still represents the most commonly used treatment in T1 RCC patients. Utilization of PN increased over time but implementation is still in progress. Whereas PN is frequently used in tertiary care centers, population-based studies suggest discrepancies in the diffusion of standard of care treatments. Alternative minimally invasive approaches for PN are available but their superiority is not yet proven. Further efforts in improving the training of urologic surgeons are required to continue the implementation of guideline recommendations.
