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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of real-time surgical navigation by three-dimensional (3D) virtual reconstruction models in robot-assisted laparoscopic pyeloplasty (RALP).
methodsBetween November 2018 and January 2020, 38 patients with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) who underwent RALP were retrospectively enrolled. The operations were assisted in real time by 3D models in 16 patients, while 22 patients underwent surgery without navigation. Based on whether patients had a prior intervention history, crossing vessels or congenital deformities, we further divided them into the "complicated UPJO" cohort and the "regular UPJO" cohort for subgroup analysis. The demographic characteristics, intraoperative parameters, perioperative data and follow-up data were recorded and compared between the groups.
resultsAll of the procedures were successfully performed without open or laparoscopic conversion. The mean dissection time to the UPJ was shorter in the navigation group than in the non-navigation group, both in the whole cohort (15.3
conclusionsReal-time navigation by 3D virtual reconstruction models might be helpful to improve surgical efficiency and safety of RALP by facilitating the dissection around the UPJ, especially for cases of complicated UPJO. However, the prospective study with larger sample size is further needed to confirm the results.
