Comparison of the efficacy of robotic-assisted retroperitoneal laparoscopy and traditional retroperitoneal laparoscopy in partial nephrectomy among patients with renal tumors: A retrospective cohort study.
Article in Investigative and clinical urology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 efficacy of robotic-assisted retroperitoneal laparoscopy (RARL) and traditional retroperitoneal laparoscopy (TRL) in patients undergoing partial nephrectomy for treatment of a renal tumor were compared in this study. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe retrospective study reviewed patients with renal tumors who underwent partial nephrectomy in our hospital between January 2020 and February 2022. According to different surgical methods, the patients were enrolled into the RARL (experimental group, n=65) or the TRL (control group, n=63) partial nephrectomy group.
resultsOne hundred twenty-eight patients were reviewed. The number of patients with collecting system injuries in the experimental group (19 cases) was significantly less than in the control group (32 cases; p<0.05). The operative time (115.7±48.2 min vs. 143.1±25.5 min) and heat ischemia time (18.7±4.9 min vs. 26.4±5.2 min) were significantly shorter in the experimental group than in the control group. The intraoperative blood loss (35.4±13.2 mL vs. 96.1±34.3 mL) and postoperative drainage volume (55.9±26.4 mL vs. 75.2±32.6 mL) were significantly less in the experimental group than in the control group (p<0.05). The change in postoperative glomerular filtration rate decrease in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (p<0.05). The change level in postoperative creatinine increase in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p<0.05). There were no considerable differences in other clinical indicators or follow-up results between the two groups.
conclusionsRARL was superior to TRL for renal tumor treatment with respect to operative time, intraoperative blood loss, warm ischemia time, and postoperative renal function recovery.
