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

Objective: Partial nephrectomy (PN) is the standard treatment for T1a renal masses, increasingly applied to T1b tumours due to advancements in robotic surgery and imaging. While CT urograms are standard, three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction is gaining traction for complex tumours to enhance preoperative planning. This study aimed to compare the impact of 3D reconstruction on operative time and ischaemic time during robot-assisted PN. Methods: A prospective, non-randomised study was conducted on 112 patients who underwent robot-assisted PN between January 2020 and October 2022. Patients were divided into two groups: Group A ( Results: Despite higher tumour complexity in Group A, mean operative time (190.1 [standard deviation, SD 38.5] min Conclusion: 3D reconstruction enhances understanding of complex renal tumours, maintaining operative efficiency comparable to less complex cases. Further randomized studies are needed to confirm these findings.
