Radical nephrectomy vs. partial nephrectomy in T1-2, N0, M0 cystic renal cell carcinoma.
Review in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Evaluate survival outcomes of PN compared to RN in patients with T1-2, N0, M0 cRCC. Methods: Patients with cRCC were identified using the National Cancer Database (NCDB). Inclusion criteria included T1-2, N0, M0 disease, treatment with either PN or RN, and a Charleston Deyo co-morbidity score of 0. Patients with missing survival data, advanced staging, or incomplete surgical information were excluded. Propensity score matching was performed to create identical groups with respect to age, sex, and race. Kaplan-Meier survival curves, multinomial logistic regression, and cox proportional hazard models were used for statistical analysis. Results: Of the 476 eligible propensity matched patients, 238 (50.0%) underwent PN and 238 (50.0%) underwent RN. PN was associated with better survival (mean: 186 vs. 170 months, Conclusion: Partial nephrectomy demonstrates superior survival and shorter hospital stays compared to radical nephrectomy in localized cRCC, reinforcing its role as the preferred surgical approach.
