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

Introduction: Robot-assisted radical nephrectomy (RARN) can be performed using either transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approaches; however, each has inherent limitations, particularly in cases with complex hilar anatomy or post-systemic therapy fibrosis. Case Presentation: Hybrid RARN was performed in two patients with renal cell carcinoma, including one who had received systemic therapy. The procedure consisted of initial retroperitoneal dissection with secure control of the renal hilum, followed by a transperitoneal nephrectomy with an expanded field. This sequential approach enabled reliable vascular control and sufficient working space for tumor resection. Perioperative outcomes were comparable to conventional RARN. Conclusion: This hybrid approach may enhance surgical flexibility and safety.
