New paradigm in robotic partial nephrectomy: planned outpatient surgery in all patients.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 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
We previously published the first series of routine overnight robotic partial nephrectomy (RPN) in 2013 that was successful in 97% of patients. We initiated selective outpatient RPN in 2018 and since 2020 began uniformly performing RPN on a planned outpatient basis regardless of age, comorbidities, or tumor complexity. We present our pioneering experience with planned outpatient RPN in all patients, which has never previously been reported for RPN. We reviewed our single-surgeon (RA), prospective database of 300 consecutive RPN procedures from March 2020-May 2025. Outpatient RPN with same day discharge (SDD) home from the recovery room was planned in all patients regardless of patient or tumor characteristics or surgery time of day. Length of stay, complications and readmissions were assessed. A total of 304 RPNs were performed in 300 patients with 292 discharged home the same day (97.3%) as planned. SDD rate increased over time, reaching 100% by year #3. Mean age was 60yrs (28-85yrs), mean BMI was 32 kg/m
