Laparoscopic transperitoneal and retroperitoneal simple nephrectomy: The impact of etiological factors of the results of surgical treatment.
Article in Turkish journal of urology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
objectiveThis retrospective study compares the perioperative outcomes of laparoscopic simple nephrectomy (LSN) in patients with urinary stone disease (USD) in comparison with LSNs performed for other etiological factors. MATERIAL AND
methods115 LSNs were identified from the two teaching hospitals' database. Depending on the etiological factors, patients were stratified in 2 groups. Group 1 consisted of 63 (mean age 44.8±1.7 [21-71] years) patients; where the cause of non-functioning kidney was USD. Meanwhile, Group 2 included 52 (mean age was 43.6±2.0 [19-78] years) patients; who underwent LSN because of other benign diseases. In both groups, a standardized transabdominal or retroperitoneal approach was used according to the discretion of the attending surgeon. Two groups were compared statistically in terms of perioperative parameters and standardized surgical complications.
resultsThe use of transperitoneal approach was higher in Group 1 (69.8% vs. 30.2%) compared to Group 2 (51.9% vs. 48.1%). Elective open conversion was needed in 3 and 2 patients in Groups 1 and 2, respectively. The results for mean operative time (108.9±4.0 min vs. 106.7±5.0), estimated blood loss (92.5±8.2 vs. 86.8±10.1 mL) and length of hospital stay (4.1±0.33 vs. 3.85±0.42 days) were similar between the groups. Despite intraoperative complications were similar between the groups, overall post-operative complications were significantly higher (17.5% vs. 3.8%) in Group 1. However, the rate of significant complications (Clavien 3-5) was similar between the groups.
conclusionThe present study revealed that perioperative outcomes of patients undergoing LSN for USD are similar to those seen in patients undergoing LSN for other etiological factors.
