Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Radical Nephrectomy in a Renal Cell Carcinoma Patient With Severe Scoliosis: A Case Report.
Article in IJU case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Laparoscopic nephrectomy in patients with severe scoliosis presents significant challenges due to altered anatomy and limited space. This case report discusses using robot-assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy in such a scenario. Case Presentation: A 68-year-old man with severe right convex scoliosis was diagnosed with cT3aN0M0 right locally advanced renal cell carcinoma. Given the anatomical distortions caused by scoliosis, traditional laparoscopic techniques posed difficulties. We opted for robot-assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy, carefully planning the port placement and surgical approach to accommodate the patient's unique anatomical features. Conclusion: This is the first reported instance of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy in a patient with severe scoliosis. The successful outcome demonstrates the feasibility and benefits of robotic assistance in overcoming the technical difficulties associated with scoliosis, offering a viable surgical option for similar cases.
