Effectiveness of soft coagulation in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy in preventing pseudoaneurysms and its influence on renal function based on propensity score-matched analysis.

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
Background: Renal artery pseudoaneurysm (RAP) is one of the most stressful and life-threatening complications of partial nephrectomy, the standard treatment for small renal cell carcinoma. The use of a monopolar soft coagulation system for hemostasis during robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) is expected to prevent post-surgical RAP development. In this study, we aimed to investigate how the use of a soft coagulation system in RAPN reduces postoperative pseudoaneurysms and changes renal function over time. Methods: The incidence of pseudoaneurysms and postoperative renal function were compared in 208 partial nephrectomies performed between May 2016 and March 2023 at a single institution, with propensity score matching to balance patient backgrounds. Outcomes were analyzed using multivariate logistic or linear regression analyses. Results: In total, 80 matched pairs were analyzed. One (1.2%) and eighteen (22.5%) pseudoaneurysms were found in the soft coagulation users and non-users, respectively (P<0.001). Compared to the non-user group, postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) in the user group were 89% Conclusions: The use of a soft coagulation system reduces pseudoaneurysm occurrence after partial nephrectomy. Although renal function decreased in the short-term for the use group, no long-term differences were observed.
