Prospective comparative study of postoperative systemic inflammatory syndrome in robot-assisted vs. open kidney transplantation.
Article in World journal of urology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeRobot-assisted kidney transplant (RAKT) recently proved to provide functional results similar to the preferred open kidney transplant (OKT), but with inferior wound morbidity. In a comparative prospective study, we explored the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) after KT and compared OKT with RAKT.
methodsForty-nine patients underwent pre-emptive ABO-compatible kidney transplantations (KT) between January 2017 and December 2018 in 2 centers: 25 RAKT, 24 OKT. Postoperative SIRS was biologically assessed by serum markers (NGAL, CRP and IL-6) measured at: T0 (preoperative/baseline), T1(H1), T2(H6), T3(H12), T4(H24), T5(D2), T6(D3) and T7(D5) after KT.
resultsInflammatory markers + eGFR were assessed in OKT vs. RAKT. IL-6 peak value occurred at H6 and reached ×9 from baseline. CRP peak occurred at H24 and reached ×28 from baseline (All P < 0.05). NGAL decreased after surgery with a plateau (divided by 2 from baseline) from H12 to D5. There was no significant difference in IL-6, CRP and NGAL kinetics and peak values between RAKT and OKT (All P > 0.05). Serum creatinine and eGFR on postoperative days 1, 3 and 7 were similar in RAKT and OKT (All P > 0.05). Delayed graft function was not observed.
conclusionIn this exploratory study, the biological evaluation of postoperative SIRS after living-donor kidney transplant revealed no significant difference between OKT and RAKT and similar functional outcomes in the short term. These results highlight the safety of RAKT as an alternative to OKT in this setting.
