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

objectiveTo investigate the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided percutaneous intracystic deroofing for the treatment of simple renal cysts.

methodsA retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 46 patients with dorsal exophytic simple renal cysts treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University between February 2017 and June 2022. The patients were divided into two groups according to the surgical method, with 20 cases undergoing ultrasound-guided percutaneous intracystic deroofing being assigned to the observation group and 26 cases treated by retroperitoneal laparoscopic renal cyst removal included in the control group. The operation time, blood loss, postoperative catheterization time, postoperative drainage tube indwelling time, postoperative hospital stay, and complications were compared.

resultsNone of the 46 patients converted to open surgery. The observation group showed significantly less blood loss, shorter operation time, drainage tube drainage time, postoperative hospital stay, and indwelling catheter time than the control group (all P<0.05). The two procedures had a success rate of 100%. There were no statistical significances in K

conclusionsUltrasound-guided percutaneous intracystic deroofing of renal cysts is worthy of clinical application in the treatment of simple renal cysts due to its significant advantages such as short operation time, less trauma, quick recovery, safety, effectiveness, and low cost.
