Comparison of robot-assisted single-port-plus-one pyeloplasty vs. laparoscopic single-port pyeloplasty in the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction in children.

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
Objective: To compare the efficacy of robot-assisted single-port-plus-one pyeloplasty (RSPY) and laparoscopic single-port pyeloplasty (LSPY) in the treatment of children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO). Methods: The clinical data of 47 children who underwent surgery for UPJO at the Department of the Pediatric Surgery of the Fujian Provincial Hospital from October 2020 to September 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Of these 47 children, 27 received RSPY while 20 underwent LSPY. The baseline data, operation time, intraoperative anastomosis time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, complications, total cost, preoperative and postoperative renal parenchymal thickness (PT), anteroposterior renal pelvis diameter (APD), and differential renal function (DRF) of the two groups were compared to evaluate the clinical efficacy of the two surgical methods. Results: The results showed that both surgical techniques were successful and no patient transitioned to open surgery. There was no significant difference between the two groups in baseline data, intraoperative blood loss, complications, APD, and PT 6 months after surgery. There was also no significant difference in APD, PT, and DRF 12 months after surgery (all Conclusion: Compared with LSPY, RSPY achieves equivalent efficacy in the treatment of UPJO in children and has certain advantages by shortening the operation time, intraoperative anastomosis time, and postoperative hospital stay. However, its cost burden is heavy, and appropriate cases need to be selected for popularization and application.
