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 AND

objectiveWe aimed to evaluate current trends and complications after radical nephrectomy with inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombectomy and to provide evidence on the role of the annual hospital caseload on perioperative outcomes.

methodsWe used the GeRmAn Nationwide inpatient Data (GRAND), provided by the German Bureau of Statistics (2005-2022). All hospitals performing radical nephrectomy with IVC thrombectomy were subclassified based on their annual caseload to low- (<3 cases/year), intermediate- (3-9 cases/year), and high-volume centers (≥10 cases/year). We included 3608 patients. Key Findings and Limitations: Overall, 1880 (52%) patients underwent surgery in low-, 1466 (40%) in intermediate-, and 848 (8%) in high-volume centers. Most patients (3574, 99%) underwent open surgery. The number of patients undergoing radical nephrectomy with IVC thrombectomy has decreased in the last years. Patients undergoing surgery in low-, intermediate- and high-volume centers had similar baseline characteristics. Operation in high-volume centers, compared to low-volume centers, was associated with lower odds of intensive care unit admission (29% versus 45%, OR: 0.5, 95% CI: 0.4-0.7, CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: The present real-world data demonstrate that, for every additional case performed annually, hospitals improve their perioperative outcomes in terms of major perioperative complications.
