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

Renal autotransplantation is a rare surgical procedure designed to preserve renal function in patients with complex urinary system diseases or highly complex renal tumors. Between 2012 and 2023, four patients underwent ex vivo partial nephrectomy (PN) and autotransplantation for complex renal tumors at our hospital. Two patients had bilateral multifocal renal tumors, including von Hippel Lindau (VHL) disease and hybrid oncocytic chromophobe tumor (HOCT). The remaining two patients had highly complex renal tumors with Preoperative Aspects and Dimensions Used for an Anatomical (PADUA) score of 12, one of whom had a solitary kidney. None of the patients experienced any postoperative surgical complications. Pathologically, nine of the excised tumors had negative surgical margins, except for one of the four tumors on HOCT. Postoperative renal function decreased at one month compared to preoperative renal function (
