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

objectivesThis study aimed to evaluate early postoperative and long-term changes in renal function following radical nephroureterectomy (RNU) for upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) and to identify factors associated with each phase.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed 168 patients who underwent RNU for UTUC between 2007 and 2022. Renal function was assessed using estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Early postoperative renal function decline (RFD) was defined as the percentage decrease in eGFR from preoperative values to 1 month post-surgery. Factors associated with early postoperative RFD were evaluated using multivariable linear regression analyses. Long-term RFD was assessed using serial eGFR measurements obtained from 1 month after surgery onward and was analyzed with multivariable linear mixed-effects models.

resultsThe median follow-up period was 74.5 months. The median preoperative eGFR and early postoperative RFD were 53.1 mL/min/1.73m

conclusionsPredictors of early postoperative RFD differed from those of progressive long-term RFD following RNU. These findings suggest that early and long-term postoperative renal functional changes may need to be considered separately in clinical decision-making and patient counseling.
