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

backgroundLaparoscopic living donor nephrectomy (LLDN) has become the gold standard for renal transplantation. However, performing LLDN concurrently with other surgical procedures remains scarcely reported. This study evaluates the safety and feasibility of simultaneous LLDN with additional laparoscopic surgeries.

methodsA prospective analysis was conducted on 294 cases from November 2018 to May 2023 at our transplant center. Among these, 15 donors underwent concomitant laparoscopic procedures alongside LLDN. Pre-operative evaluations included comprehensive medical histories, laboratory tests, and dual-CT angiography. The surgical outcomes, including operative time and intra- and post-operative complications, were meticulously recorded.

resultsThe median age of donors was 57 years, with a median BMI of 27 kg/m

conclusionSimultaneous LLDN and additional laparoscopic procedures are safe and feasible when performed by an experienced surgical team. This approach can improve donor outcomes by avoiding the need for multiple surgeries and additional anesthesia, thereby enhancing recovery and quality of life.
