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: Transplant nephrectomy for graft intolerance syndrome is technically challenging because severe perirenal adhesions increase bleeding risk. Despite the increasing adoption of minimally invasive techniques, optimal laparoscopic strategies remain limited. Case Presentation: A 49-year-old man developed pembrolizumab-induced graft intolerance syndrome (GIS) following surgery for native renal cell carcinoma. To enable safe continuation of immunotherapy, laparoscopic transplant nephrectomy was performed. Despite severe adhesions, a combined intracapsular and extracapsular approach enabled safe graft removal. Multiple feeding vessels were divided using a vessel-sealing device and soft coagulation, while avoiding extensive hilar dissection. Postoperative computed tomography confirmed complete resection of the allograph, with no radiologically evident residual tissue or postoperative complications. Conclusion: This hybrid laparoscopic approach is a safe, minimally invasive option for managing GIS with severe adhesions.
