A Hemostatic Technique in Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy and Its Impact on Renal Function.

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
Purpose Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) has become popular in recent years for small renal masses. We describe a technique of suturing renal defects during RAPN that is reliable and quick, does not necessitate the need for hemostatic agents, and reduces perioperative complications. Materials and methods A total of 24 patients who underwent RAPN were included in the study period between 2013 and 2018 and data were analyzed. Perioperative and postoperative outcomes were measured and compared. Results The median tumor size was 4 cm. Median warm ischemia time was 41 minutes (IQR: 38-45 minutes) and estimated blood loss was 150 mL (IQR: 120-200 mL). There were no major intraoperative complications or conversions to open surgery. No urine leaks or postoperative bleedings were observed. Conclusion Our technique is safe and effective. It negates the use of hemostatic agents, decreases perioperative complications, and negates that determination of long-term renal function is not associated with prolonged warm ischemia time alone. Hence, we propose that our technique is safe in partial nephrectomy when the pelvic calyceal system and renal vessels are opened in multiple locations.
