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

Objective: To evaluate the predictive value of the R.E.N.A.L., PADUA, and (MC) Method: This systematic review and meta-analysis was reported in accordance with PRISMA and registered in PROSPERO. PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched from inception to May 1, 2025. The primary outcomes were overall, major, and minor complications after renal ablation in relation to the R.E.N.A.L., PADUA, or (MC) Results: A total of 25 retrospective studies involving 5,583 patients were included. Higher R.E.N.A.L., PADUA, and (MC) Conclusions: The R.E.N.A.L., PADUA, and (MC) Systematic Review Registration: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier CRD42024551193.
