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

Partial nephrectomy (PN) is the standard treatment for renal cell carcinoma (RCC), offering cancer control with renal preservation. Three-dimensional laparoscopy addresses the limitations of traditional two-dimensional systems by enhancing depth perception and accuracy. This study evaluates the impact of 3D laparoscopy on PN for larger and complex tumors. We retrospectively analyzed 200 laparoscopic nephrectomies by a single surgeon between 2020 and 2024, comparing pre-3D and post-3D groups (100 cases each). Key outcomes included the rate of PN, warm ischemia time (WIT), and operative time. The post-3D group demonstrated a significant increase in PN for tumors >4 cm (48% vs. 35%,
