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

Introduction: The da Vinci SP® Surgical System, approved by the FDA in 2018 for urological procedures and by the European Union in 2024, is now being adopted across Europe. This report presents the first Italian experience with single-port robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) using the SP system. Material and methods: From May 8 and May 31, 2024, ten consecutive male patients underwent single-port RAPN via a Lower Anterior retroperitoneal Access (LAA) at a single institution. Perioperative and early postoperative variables were prospectively collected and analyzed. Results: All 10 procedures were completed without conversion to multiport or open surgery. One case was converted to radical nephrectomy for oncologic reasons. Eight procedures were performed on the right kidney and 2 on the left. Median patient age was 72 years (IQR 64-72), median BMI was 28.0 kg/m Conclusions: Single-port RAPN with the da Vinci SP® system is safe and feasible, with promising short-term outcomes.
