A Novel Imaging-Guided Classification System for Completely Endophytic Renal Tumors: Strategies for Optimal Partial Nephrectomy and Clinical Outcome Comparison.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06954571 (A Novel Imaging-Guided Classification System for Completely Endophytic Renal Tumors), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundCompletely endophytic renal tumors (CERTs) pose significant challenges in surgical decision-making owing to their intricate anatomical locations and structures. Currently, clinical practice lacks a standardized classification system to guide surgical approaches for CERTs situated in diverse anatomical regions. This study proposes an innovative imaging-guided classification system designed to facilitate personalized surgical guidance. In addition, we evaluated the system's effectiveness in improving surgical precision and clinical outcomes. PATIENTS AND
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 190 patients with CERT who underwent partial nephrectomy (PN) at the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University from 2018 to 2024. Utilizing the novel imaging-based CERT classification, optimal surgical strategies were identified for each subtype. The clinicopathologic characteristics, postoperative renal function recovery, and prognostic outcomes among patient subgroups were systematically assessed. Furthermore, independent predictors of Trifecta achievement in patients with CERT following PN were identified.
resultsThe 190 CERT cases were classified into three categories on the basis of imaging criteria: Type I (N = 57), Type II (N = 107; subdivided into IIa: 70, and IIb: 37), and Type III (N = 26). Compared with Types I and II, patients classified as Type III demonstrated significantly higher P.A.D.U.A. and R.E.N.A.L. scores, longer operative times, increased warm ischemia times (WITs), and notably lower Trifecta achievement rates. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses identified ASA score, tumor size, and the newly proposed CERT classification system as independent predictors of Trifecta achievement.
conclusionsThe imaging-guided CERT classification system effectively guides personalized surgical planning, enhances surgical precision, and promotes improved postoperative renal function recovery. Research registration unique identifying number (UIN): UNI:NCT06954571.
