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

purposeThis study aimed to assess the impact of warm ischemia time on short-term renal function in individuals undergoing partial nephrectomy.

methodsWe conducted a comprehensive search for primary research articles from 1990 to October 15, 2024 across several databases, including MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Library. A random effects model was applied to determine multivariable adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Country and study design were utilised as outcome indicators in the regression model.

resultsTen studies including 4,993 patients who underwent partial nephrectomy met the inclusion criteria. The threshold of potentially harmful ischemia time for renal artery occlusion ranges between 10 and 45 min. Our results revealed that long warm ischemia time was associated with decreased postoperative eGFR and poor short-term renal function (OR = 1.08; 95% CI = 1.02-1.15; P = 0.006) after partial nephrectomy. Sensitivity and meta-regression analyses demonstrated the robustness of the study's findings.

conclusionsExtended periods of warm ischemia, specifically exceeding 25-30 min, can inflict damage on kidneys undergoing surgical treatment. Minimising the duration of warm ischemia while simultaneously prioritising surgical safety and achieving clear margins is imperative. Moreover, ischemia time remains a modifiable risk factor and must be reduced to maintain overall short-term renal function. Relevant prospective and randomised controlled trials must be conducted to validate these findings. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42024560051.
