Transferring robotic expertise from multi-port to single-port partial nephrectomy: A comparative analysis of perioperative outcomes and learning curves.

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
Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate perioperative outcomes and learning curves following implementation of single-port robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (SP-RAPN) at a European tertiary referral centre and to assess the transferability of robotic expertise from established multi-port (MP) platforms to single-port (SP) surgery. Patients and Methods: This single-centre retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients undergoing RAPN between February 2023 and August 2025. Procedures were performed by four surgeons (two experts and two trainees) using da Vinci Xi MP or da Vinci SP systems. Primary outcomes included operative time, warm ischemia time, complications and trifecta (negative margins, ischemia ≤25 min and no major complications). Learning curves were analyzed using risk-adjusted CUSUM methodology. Results: MP-RAPN was performed in 65 patients and SP-RAPN in 62. Mean operative time was 193 min in both groups, and trifecta was 80% for MP-RAPN versus 69% for SP-RAPN ( Conclusion: SP-RAPN can be safely implemented in experienced robotic centres with outcomes comparable to MP approaches and shorter hospital stays. Excellent skill transferability from MP to SP platforms was demonstrated in experienced surgeons. Supervised trainee adoption was feasible without complications.
