Comparison of Perioperative, Renal Functional, and Oncological Outcomes Between Off-Clamp and On-Clamp Robot-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy for Renal Tumors: An Updated Evidence-Based Analysis.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectivesWe aimed to report the latest and largest pooled analysis and evidence update to compare the perioperative, renal functional, and oncological outcomes between off-clamp and on-clamp robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for renal tumors. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe performed a systematic literature search using PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science up to August 2021 for studies that compared the efficacy and/or safety between off-clamp and on-clamp RAPN for renal tumors. Outcomes measured were operating time, estimated blood loss (EBL), conversion rate, length of stay (LOS), complication rate, transfusion rate, long-term % decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), positive surgical margin rate, and recurrence rate.
resultsA total of 21 eligible articles involving 4,493 patients (1,274 off-clamp
conclusionsGiven the presence of heterogeneity and potential bias, urologists should select the clamp strategy based on their experience and patient-specific factors.
