Factors associated with contralateral renal parenchymal volume changes after partial nephrectomy: A retrospective cohort study.

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
Objectives: The objective of this study is to assess contralateral renal parenchymal volume (CRPV) changes in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after PN and identify the clinical factors associated with CRPV increase. Methods: This retrospective study included 143 RCC patients (aged 24-76 years) who underwent PN between 2017 and 2018. Preoperative and postoperative CRPV were assessed using 3D Slicer software. Patients were categorized into CRPV-increase and CRPV-decrease groups based on volumetric changes. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine independent factors influencing CRPV increase. Results: With a median follow-up of 904 days (IQR: 605 Conclusions: Contralateral renal compensation following PN is relatively modest compared to radical nephrectomy. Postoperative AKI is associated with compensatory renal hypertrophy, whereas hypertension is negatively associated with this process. These hypothesis-generating findings underscore the importance of perioperative renal function management and blood pressure control. Prospective studies are needed to validate these associations.
