Revascularisation of iatrogenic superior mesenteric artery injury by end to end anastomosis during robot assisted nephrectomy.

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
introductionSuperior mesenteric artery (SMA) injury is very peculiar to left sided renal surgery. Although it is rare only, most of it is unreported. We report a case of SMA injury during robot assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy, which was managed successfully by end to end anastomosis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 19-year-old male patient was undergoing robot assisted laparoscopic simple nephrectomy for pyelonephritic kidney. Because of dense adhesion, SMA was inadvertently clipped and cut. It was recognised intraoperatively and an end to end anastomosis was done by laparotomy. DISCUSSION: SMA injury is rarely encountered in surgical practice. Most of it occurs following trauma. Iatrogenic SMA injury occurs in case of distorted local anatomy either due to adhesion or bulky tumor in left renal fossa and vicinity.
conclusionOne should be cautious about proximity of SMA and its possible injury during left nephrectomy and it should be repaired as soon as possible.
