Efficacy and utility of robotic single-access bilateral nephrectomy (r-SABN) in end-stage renal disease patients.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
purposeBilateral native nephrectomies are needed in ESRD patients with select indications in a pre-transplant setting. Yet, the perioperative morbidity is significant in this population. Herein we evaluate the efficacy and utility of r-SABN.
methodA total of 12 patients were consented at a single center. Of 12 patients, 3 patients did not meet study criteria and were excluded. Preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative data were prospectively collected from 9 patients from electronic health records and administered postoperative surveys. Patients were assessed at 30-180 days postoperatively for follow-up.
resultsMean operative time was 204.3 ± 59.7 min (142.0-314.0) and estimated blood loss during operation was 94.4 ± 87.3 ml (25.0-300.0). The mean length of hospital stay was 2 ± 0.7 days (1-3) for all patients. Total post-operative opioid usage was normalized to morphine dose equivalents (MDE) and calculated to be 56.1 ± 30.4 mg (30.8-101.8). Patients experienced a fourfold and tenfold respective increase in weekly structural and incidental physical activity from 30 to 180 days postoperatively. There were no procedure related intraoperative or postoperative complications reported in the cohort.
conclusionOverall, r-SABN afforded the patients low morbidity. Longitudinal studies are in progress to further assess the efficacy and outcome of this procedure. In a single-center study, we demonstrate r-SABN is viable and provides a novel tool for treatment of ESRD patients requiring this procedure.
