Perioperative and Mid-Term Oncological and Functional Outcomes After Partial Nephrectomy for Entirely Endophytic Renal Tumors: A Prospective Multicenter Observational Study (The RECORD2 Project).
Article in Cancers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectivesTotally endophytic renal tumors are a unique subset that pose significant technical challenges during partial nephrectomy (PN). The aim of this study was to evaluate the perioperative, oncologic, and functional outcomes of PN in this particular setting. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe retrospectively evaluated 4151 patients who had surgical treatment for renal tumors between January 2013 and December 2016 at 26 urological Italian Centers (RECORD 2 project). Only patients treated with PN for entirely endophytic renal tumor were considered for final analyses.
resultsA total of 211 patients were included, with a median PADUA score of 10 (IQR 9-11). Open, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches were used in 94 (44.5%), 52 (24.6%), and 65 (30.8%) cases, respectively. While surgical approach did not impact complication rates, robotic PN had significantly lower median blood loss (100 vs. 185 vs. 175 cc,
conclusionsThe conservative management of entirely endophytic renal tumors is associated with favorable functional and oncologic outcomes. Whenever technically feasible, conservative surgery should be prioritized to optimize early renal function recovery.
