Functional and volumetric changes following partial nephrectomy for large (≥ 7 cm) renal masses: a comparative study.
Article in World journal of urology, 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
purposePartial nephrectomy (PN) has been performed for renal masses ≥7cm with promised oncological outcome, whereas their functional and volumetric changes remain unclear. This study aims to evaluate renal functional and volumetric changes after PN for renal masses ≥7cm and compare these outcomes with those of with smaller renal masses(<7cm).
methodsA total of 107 patients with renal masses ≥7 cm who underwent PN with sufficient data were included. PN patients with renal masses <7 cm were enrolled as controls. The acute ipsilateral renal dysfunction (AIRD) spectrum score, recovery from ischemia and annual ipsilateral renal parenchymal volume (RPV) decrease was used to reflect short, mid, and long-term functional/volumetric changes, respectively.
resultThe median tumor size in the study group was 8cm (interquartile range [IQR]: 7.5-9cm) with a median R.E.A.N.L. score of 10(IQR: 8-10) and the median ischemia time was 30 minutes, which were all significantly higher than those in the control group. Although the study group demonstrated lower ipsilateral renal parenchymal volume preservation (81.5% vs. 88.3%) and GFR preservation(74.6% vs. 84.4%, both p < 0.001), spectrum sore(0.25 vs. 0.21, p=0.2), recovery from ischemia(91.6% vs. 93.8%, p=0.2) and annual ipsilateral RPV decrease(5.5% vs. 3.4%, p=0.3) were comparable between the two groups. The main limitations include a relatively small sample size and limited follow-up duration.
conclusionsCompared with smaller renal masses(<7 cm), PN for masses ≥7 cm was associated with moderately reduced ipsilateral RPV and GFR preservation. However, the severity of acute kidney injury (AKI), mid-term functional recovery, and long-term volumetric changes were not significantly compromised , supporting the feasibility of PN for large renal masses.
