Benefits of Robotic Assisted vs. Traditional Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy: A Single Surgeon Comparative Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
purposeThe current study aims to compare peri-operative and post-operative outcomes between robotic assisted vs. laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Multiple reviews of the current literature have detailed the lack of single surgeon studies in this domain. To limit inter-operator bias, we utilise a single surgeon experienced in both approaches to reduce this bias seen in other multi-centre studies. METHODS AND MATERIALS: We retrospectively compared patient demographics, tumour characteristics, peri-operative and post-operative outcomes of all partial nephrectomies undertaken by a single surgeon between 2014 and 2021 with experience in both laparoscopic and robotic surgery. The Da Vinci surgical system was utilized. Statistical analysis was carried out using GraphPad prism software version 7.03, San Diego, CA, USA.
resultsWarm ischemia time was reduced by 2.6 min, length of stay reduced by 1.3 days and acute renal function deterioration was reduced by 55% with all these results being significant with robotic assisted partial nephrectomy compared to laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.
conclusionThis study highlights the benefits of robotic assisted in comparison to laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Further large-scale prospective studies and cost-benefit analysis of robotic assisted partial nephrectomy would be valuable in confirming these findings and justifying the usage against their financial cost.
