Robot-assisted and embolization-assisted partial nephrectomy versus laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for renal angiomyolipoma: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Journal of robotic surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
The optimal surgical approach for renal angiomyolipoma (AML) remains uncertain. Robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) and selective arterial embolization before laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (SAE + LPN) have been proposed to improve perioperative outcomes compared with conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy (LPN). However, their relative advantages in AML-specific populations have not been systematically assessed. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies comparing RAPN with LPN and SAE + LPN with LPN. Major databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and CNKI, were searched up to September 25, 2025. Pooled mean differences (MD) and odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using random-effects models. Seven studies met the inclusion criteria, including three comparing RAPN and LPN and four comparing SAE + LPN and LPN. RAPN was associated with significantly shorter warm ischemia time (MD = - 5.09 min; 95% CI [- 6.15 to - 4.03]; p < 0.001), reduced hospitalization time (MD = - 0.43 days; 95% CI [- 0.80 to - 0.06]; p = 0.02), and higher postoperative eGFR (MD = + 3.20 mL/min/1.73 m
