Right robotic-assisted laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy: initial results from a single-center retrospective study.
Article in Clinical transplantation and research, 2026. 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
Background: Laparoscopic nephrectomy for living donors is widely regarded as the standard procedure for kidney transplantation in many medical centers worldwide. The left kidney is generally preferred for transplantation because it offers greater convenience. However, in certain situations, harvesting the right kidney becomes necessary, and this may introduce specific challenges. Robotic living donor nephrectomy (RDN) is increasingly recognized globally as it assists surgeons in managing the limitations of the conventional approach. We report the results of right RDN for kidney transplantation at our center. Methods: All donors who underwent right RDN at Cho Ray Hospital, Vietnam from January 2019 to June 2024 were included in the study. Donors were selected by the Renal Transplantation Council of Cho Ray Hospital according to national donor criteria. Patient demographics, radiologic findings, and surgical outcomes were recorded. Results: All six patients who underwent right RDN were analyzed. The mean age was 42.5±11.9 years, and the mean body mass index was 23.5±0.8 kg/m Conclusions: Right RDN may be a safe and efficient procedure with promising outcomes for both donors and recipients. This technique should be considered a preferable option when performing right kidney harvesting.
