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

Conventional robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy (RARNU) with bladder cuff excision (BCE) often requires changes in patient position, trocar placement, or robotic docking, increasing procedural complexity. Retroperitoneal single-position surgeries are rare and primarily focus on lateral and supine positions, which still present constraints. This study aims to investigate the safety and the feasibility of prone retroperitoneal RARNU (prRARNU) with BCE in single position, and to compare the results with clinical data on retroperitoneal RARNU (rRARNU) reported in the literature. From August 2023 to April 2024, four patients [mean age: 68.8 years; BMI: 24.3 kg/m
