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

introductionTo determine the relationship between the actual renal function loss and volume loss in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) using a novel three-dimensional volume analyzer. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe respectively evaluated the medical records of 23 consecutive patients who underwent RAPN between January 2012 and March 2016 and the data on their kidney function and parenchymal mass specific to the operated kidney. Parenchymal volume was measured by computerized tomography and reconstructed with a Synapse Vincent volumetric analyzer. Using this system, we predicted the renal vascular territory and other trauma areas involved in renorrhaphy. All measurements were taken within 3 and 6 months pre- and postoperatively, respectively.

resultsThe actual postoperative renal parenchymal volume was significantly correlated with the virtual predicted residual renal volume excluding the tumor and resected margin (r = 0.435, p <0.05). The ratio of split estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) postoperative/preoperative) was significantly correlated with the virtual predicted residual renal volume excluding the resected margin and the traumatic area by renorrhaphy (r = 0.401, p <0.05).

conclusionsWhen predicting the reduction of renal function of the diseased side following partial nephrectomy, adding the extent of the area traumatized by renorrhaphy might be useful for predicting the postoperative split renal function of the affected kidney.
