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

Resectable renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with colon invasion is extremely rare and is usually managed by open surgery. To our knowledge, this is the first case report documenting the management of a patient with robot-assisted laparoscopic radical nephrectomy (RARN) with colon resection and inferior vena cava thrombotectomy. The procedure was completed without conversion to open surgery or major peri- and post-operative complications, confirming the technical feasibility of RARN in this challenging setting. However, given the complexity and high morbidity risk, this approach should be reserved for experienced surgeons in high-volume centers, and further evidence is required to define its role.
