The value of renal score in both determining surgical strategies and predicting complications for renal cell carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Cancer medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesRadical nephrectomy (RN) was the standard treatment for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). However, recent studies have found that partial nephrectomy (PN) could achieve similar effects as radical nephrectomy, and has the advantages of less bleeding and shorter hospital stay. The choice of surgical strategies has become a concern of clinicians, which could be guided by renal score introduced by Kutikov et al Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to clarify the value of renal score of determining surgical strategies and predicting complications.
methodsThe keywords "RENAL score," "renal nephrometry score," or "nephrometry score" were used to retrieve electronic databases for relevant literature up to Feb 2020, including PubMed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane library. Surgical strategies and complications are outcome measures. Risk ratio (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) is applied to assess the effect size.
resultsA total of 20 studies met the selection criteria for meta-analysis. There was significant difference in RN operation rate for each subgroup (low-moderate: RR = 3.50, 95% Cl = 2.60-4.71, P < .001; low-high: RR = 6.29, 95% Cl = 4.40-9.00, P < .001; moderate-high: RR = 1.80, 95% Cl = 1.39-2.32, P < .001).The overall incidence of complications from high renal score group was significantly higher than that in low renal score group (low-moderate: RR = 1.32, 95% Cl = 1.03-1.69, P = .026; low-high: RR = 2.45, 95% Cl = 1.48-4.07, P = .001; moderate-high: RR = 1.75, 95% Cl = 1.17-2.61, P = .007).
conclusionsThis meta-analysis indicated that renal score is an efficient tool for determining surgical strategies and predicting complications in PN. More prospective research is essential to verify the predictive value of renal score.
