Robot-Assisted Radical Nephrectomy for Renal Cell Carcinoma in a Right Intrathoracic Kidney Following Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Repair: 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: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) can result in intrathoracic displacement of the kidney, presenting anatomical challenges for robot-assisted radical nephrectomy (RARN). Reports of RARN in such cases are scarce. Case Presentation: A 56-year-old man with a history of right-sided CDH repair was referred for evaluation of an incidentally discovered right renal mass. Computed tomography revealed two right renal tumors (cT1aN0M0) and cranial displacement of the kidney into the thoracic cavity. Given the possibility of intra-abdominal adhesions and the retrohepatic location of the kidney, retroperitoneal RARN was selected. An intercostal trocar was used to access the high-positioned kidney. The renal vessels were safely managed using a Vas Guide, and no complications occurred. Pathology confirmed clear cell renal cell carcinoma (pT1aN0M0). Conclusion: RARN can be safely performed in patients with prior CDH repair and intrathoracic renal displacement. Preoperative planning and alternative trocar strategies, such as intercostal placement, are essential for successful outcomes.
