Partial Nephrectomy Versus Radical Nephrectomy for Endophytic Renal Tumors: Comparison of Operative, Functional, and Oncological Outcomes by Propensity Score Matching Analysis.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Purpose: The study aimed to compare operative, functional, and oncological outcomes between partial nephrectomy (PN) and radical nephrectomy (RN) for entophytic renal tumors (ERTs) by propensity score matching (PSM) analysis. Methods: A total of 228 patients with ERTs who underwent PN or RN between August 2014 and December 2021 were assessed. A PSM in a 1:1 ratio was conducted to balance the differences between groups. Perioperative characteristics, renal functional, and oncological outcomes were compared between groups. Univariate and multivariate logistic and Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were used to determine the predictors of functional and survival outcomes. Results: After PSM, 136 cases were matched to the PN group (n = 68) and the RN group (n = 68). Patients who underwent RN had shorter OT, less EBL, and lower high-grade complications (all Conclusion: Among patients with ERTs, although the PN group showed a higher incidence of high-grade complications than RN, when technically feasible and with experienced surgeons, PN is recommended for better preservation of renal function, longer OS, and similar oncological outcomes.
