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

3D models have been introduced as tools to improve surgeon's precision during Robotic-Assisted Partial Nephrectomy (RAPN). They showed to provide accurate anatomical details, improve operative time and patient safety by reducing complications. Over the last years, several useful models have been developed and proposed. However, literature is still scant regarding if and how the experience of the operator, and the learning curve, may impact the accuracy and precision of the model. In this light, the aim of the study is to evaluate the accuracy, the interpersonal variability of the precision and the learning curve for the segmentation of RAPN 3D preoperative models starting from CT images. This study will identify the influence of operator experience and learning curves on the accuracy of 3D preoperative models in RAPN, optimizing workflows for broader clinical adoption.
