Trends in utilization and perioperative outcomes in live donor nephrectomies: a multi-surgical discipline analysis.
Article in World journal of urology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveWe aim to analyze the trends in donor nephrectomy (DN) across three surgical disciplines-urology, general surgery, and transplant surgery, specifically to analyze the surgical techniques and perioperative outcomes. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe reviewed all live DN reported in the Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System database of New York State (NYS) from 1995 to 2015. Surgeons were grouped in their respective disciplines using their state license number and the American Medical Association masterfile. We analyzed the volume of DN performed by each group along with how the surgical approach is, such as open, laparoscopic or robotic. Perioperative outcomes assessed were length of stay (LOS), 30-day and 90-day readmission rates, and complication rates
resultsA total of 6803 DN were performed with urologists, transplant surgeons and general surgeons accounting for 42%, 29%, and 29% of them, respectively. Urologists performed a higher case volume with a mean surgical volume of 17.4 ± 6.5 per year (p < 0.0001). During the study period, case volumes for urologists and transplant surgeons trended upward, while those for general surgeons trended downward. Urologists also utilized a minimally invasive surgery (MIS) such as laparoscopy or robotic approach in a higher percentage of their cases (p < 0.0001). Regarding perioperative outcomes, general surgeons had a higher mean LOS (p < 0.0001), while transplant surgeons had higher rates of 30-day and 90-day readmission rates (p < 0.0001). There were no statistically significant differences in complication rates following DN among the groups.
conclusionUrologists remain vital members of the renal transplantation team as they perform a majority of DN in NYS and are increasingly achieving them via an MIS approach when compared to their general and transplant surgery counterparts. Perioperative outcomes are similar amongst all disciplines; however, general surgeons have higher mean LOS, while transplant surgeons have higher readmission rates.
