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
Introduction: Two-dimensional (2D) imaging has traditionally guided surgical planning for partial nephrectomy (PN). However, it has limitations in depicting complex renal anatomy. Three-dimensional (3D) CT reconstructions may enhance spatial understanding, but evidence of their added value remains limited. This study evaluates the role of 3D reconstruction in preoperative planning. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, observational, single-center cohort study conducted between June 2021 and October 2023. Patients with cT1 renal masses planned for robotic PN willing for additional 3D reconstruction were enrolled. Preoperative predictions were made first with 2D computed tomography and then with combined 2D+3D reconstructions across seven parameters: Sinus dissection, selective clamping, margin status, warm ischemia (<30 min), pelvicalyceal system (PCS) entry, venous clamping, and vascular injury. Predictions were compared with intraoperative findings. Results: Fifty-four patients with cT1 renal masses were included in the study. The median age of the patients was 49 years, and most tumors were solitary (90.7%) and of moderate complexity (64.8%). Trifecta outcomes were achieved in 92.6%. Incorporating 3D reconstruction resulted in consistent descriptive improvements in predictive accuracy of 3.7%-9.2%, although statistical significance was not reached. McNemar's test demonstrated statistically significant discordance between 2D+3D-based prediction and intraoperative findings for warm ischemia time (11 patients), PCS entry (21 patients), and major vascular injury (7 patients). Nevertheless, predictive accuracy and Cohen's kappa values favored combined imaging. Conclusion: Integration of 3D reconstruction with 2D improved the accuracy of preoperative prediction of intraoperative events, thereby supporting more informed preoperative planning. Further studies with larger sample size are warranted to identify tumor complexity subsets that derive the greatest benefit and the impact on the learning curve of PN.
