Renal functional outcomes after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy and percutaneous cryoablation of clinical T1 renal cell carcinoma - A prospective study.

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
Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate renal function after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and percutaneous cryoablation (PCA) in clinical stage T1 (cT1) renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and evaluate the relationship between baseline renal function and renal functional outcome. Material and Methods: Patients with cT1 RCC treated with RAPN or PCA were prospectively enrolled between June 2019 and January 2021. Renal function was evaluated using estimated glomerular filtration rate, Tc-99m diethylenetriamine-pentaacetate plasma clearance, Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine renography, and renal volume at baseline and 6 months after treatment. Results: Fifty-six patients were included (18 RAPN, 38 PCA). PCA patients had a significantly higher age (68.5 years; Conclusion: This study found a small, similar decrease in renal function 6 months after RAPN or PCA, despite significant differences in baseline patient characteristics. Reduced renal function at baseline did not lead to a worse renal functional outcome.
