Robot-assisted laparoscopic Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty for ureteropelvic junction obstruction.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
objectivesTo explore surgical, functional, and symptomatic outcomes in a series of patients who underwent robot-assisted laparoscopic Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty (RALP) for ureteropelvic junction obstruction using the DaVinci Si surgical robotic system.
methodsRetrospective study including patients aged 16 years or older who underwent RALP from June 2016 to December2021. The following outcomes were recorded: operative outcome and complications [classified according to the Clavien-Dindo Classification (CD)] within 30 days of the procedure as well as 1 year success rate and restenosis during follow-up.
resultsIn total, 194 patients were available for analyses with a median follow-up of 4.5 (IQR 3.0-6.0) years. The primary indications were loss of kidney function (45%), pain (36%), infection (11%), kidney stone (6%), and others (2%). The median operation time was 134 min (IQR 112-159), the median length of stay was 2 days (IQR 2-2), and the median time with double-j stent postoperatively was 24 days (IQR 22-27). Overall, 65 out of 194 patients (33%) experienced a postoperative complication (12% CD I, 13% CD II, 8% CD IIIa or IIIb). The 1 year success rate was 92% for patients treated because of deteriorating renal function, 78% for patients treated because of symptoms, 82% for patients treated because of infections, and 78% for patients treated because of kidney stones. Seven percent of the patients presented a recurrent ureteropelvic junction stricture during follow-up.
conclusionsIn our experience, robot-assisted laparoscopic Anderson-Hynes pyeloplasty performed with the DaVinci Si system is a safe with a few major complications and acceptable success rate.
