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

introductionOwing to the development of the laparoendoscopic single-site (LESS) procedure, transumbilical LESS nephroureterectomy (LESS-NU) has become a new approach for treating upper tract urothelial carcinoma.

aimThe aim of this study is to introduce a modified LESS-NU procedure with bladder cuff excision for treating upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC). We compared its clinical efficacy and postoperative outcomes in terms of follow-up time with traditional retroperitoneal laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (RL-NU). MATERIAL AND

methodsFrom May 2014 to May 2019, we performed nephroureterectomy on 42 patients using the retroperitoneal approach and a modified LESS approach. A retrospective analysis was conducted for the evaluation of the clinical and postoperative outcomes between the two groups.

resultsThe study included 25 LESS-NU and 17 RL-NU patients. All the procedures were completed successfully. The LESS-NU group had a significantly shorter mean operative time than the RL-NU group (204.4 min, 236.18 min, p = 0.005). The differences in skin incision length (2.88 cm, 8.94 cm, p < 0.001) and oral analgesic dose (n = 1.12, n = 2.75, p < 0.001) between LESS-NU and RL-NU were statistically significant.

conclusionsModified LESS-NU is a feasible and safe procedure. Compared with the retroperitoneal laparoscopic approach, the single-site approach did not alter the patients' position. LESS-NU is a better procedure for treating UTUC than RL-NU in terms of cosmetic result and postoperative pain.
