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

The majority of renal neoplasms can be treated surgically using open or minimally-invasive approach. Nephron-sparing surgery should be used when possible, regardless to the operative approach. In this retrospective study, we analyzed surgical trends of operative treatment of renal neoplasms in the period from February 2011 until December 2020. There were a total of 1031 procedures, 703 (68.2%) radical nephrectomies (RN) and 328 (31.8%) partial nephrectomies (PN). Laparoscopic approach was used in 211 (20.5%) (111 PN and 100 RN), while open approach was used in 820 (79.5%) (328 PN and 703 RN) cases. There were 12 procedures performed with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass and hypothermic arrest. The median operative time was 161 minutes for open RN and 158 for open PN, 160 for laparoscopic RN, and 162 for laparoscopic PN. The most common pathology was clear cell carcinoma in 693 (67.3%), papillary carcinoma in 115 (11.2%), chromophobe carcinoma in 67 (6.5%), oncocytoma in 46 (4.5%), and angiomyolipoma in 33 (3.2%) patients. Pathologically, pT1 stage was diagnosed in 56.9%, pT2 in 5.8%, pT3 in 22.4% and pT4 in 1.2% of patients. Regional lymphadenectomy was performed in 354 (34.3%) patients, among which lymph nodes were positive in 40 (11.3%) cases. Surgical margins were positive in 27 cases when PN was performed (8.2%). In conclusion, there was an ongoing raising trend in the number of procedures in general, and also in minimally invasive and nephron-sparing surgery in our study.
