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

Background: Evaluating risk factors for bleeding events in robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for renal angiomyolipoma (RAML) is essential for improving surgical outcomes. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent RAPN for renal masses between May 2019 and June 2023 at a single medical center, categorizing them into AML and non-AML groups. We assessed demographic data, perioperative complications, and postoperative outcomes. Preoperative imaging was reviewed to calculate R.E.N.A.L and PADUA nephrometry scores. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the accuracy of risk factors related to estimated blood loss (EBL) and blood transfusion. Results: Among 255 patients, 71 (27.8%) had AML, and 184 (72.2%) had non-AML. The average age was 54.5 years, with 80.2% of the AML group being female. The median tumor size was 50.2 mm. The AML group had larger tumor diameters (50.2 mm vs 34.9 mm) but shallower depths (16.1 mm vs 21.7 mm). Median R.E.N.A.L and PADUA scores were 6.5 and 8.2, respectively, with a median EBL of 128.2 mL. Blood transfusion was required in 15.5% of cases. Tumor diameter, depth, R.E.N.A.L score, and PADUA score significantly correlated with EBL, while BMI, tumor diameter, and R.E.N.A.L score correlated with blood transfusion. The AUCs for predicting EBL and blood transfusion were 0.778 and 0.771 for tumor diameter, and 0.661 and 0.711 for R.E.N.A.L score. Conclusion: RAPN might be a safe option for RAML, with tumor diameter being the most accurate predictor of EBL and blood transfusion. These findings can improve preoperative assessments and surgical planning.
