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

backgroundTo compare the perioperative and functional outcomes between robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN) for giant sporadic renal angiomyolipomas (AMLs) of ≥7 cm. MATERIALS AND

methodsPatients with sporadic renal AMLs of ≥7 cm who underwent RAPN or LPN in the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between 2015 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Propensity score matching (1 : 1) was performed to adjust for potential baseline confounders. Perioperative and functional outcomes of the RAPN and LPN groups were collected and compared.

resultAfter propensity score matching, no statistically significant differences in baseline characteristics were found between the groups (41 vs. 41). Within the matched cohort, the warm ischemia time (WIT) in the RAPN group was significantly shorter than that in the LPN group (21 vs. 27 min,

conclusionRAPN and LPN are safe and feasible minimally invasive treatments for sporadic giant renal AMLs, but RAPN is associated with shorter WIT and better postoperative renal functional preservation. WIT and preoperative renal function are independent predictors of renal function at 6 months postoperatively, while the RENAL score and surgical method are independent risk factors to WIT. For giant and complex renal AMLs, RAPN is the first choice when condition permits.
