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

backgroundThe purpose of this study was to share our experiences with robot-assisted laparoscopic nephrectomy (RALN) for WT in children and to discuss the technical points and indications.

methodsPatients with WT undergoing RALN between May 2020 and December 2022 were retrospectively analysed. Patient demographics, operative details, postoperative outcomes and follow-up were recorded.

resultsA total of 10 patients with WT who underwent RALN were enrolled in this study. The tumour diameter at operation was 70.2 ± 26.1 mm. The median tumour-abdominal volume ratio (TAVR) was 6.8% (range, 1.9%-14.8%). RALN was successfully performed in all the 10 patients without conversion, tumour rupture or operative complications. No local recurrence or death occurred during the follow-up period.

conclusionRALN for the treatment of WT in children appears to be safe and feasible in selected patients. Robotic surgery offers an effective alternative to laparoscopic surgery, appropriately expanding indications when performed by experienced surgeons.
