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

We report the case of a 58-year-old male with metachronous renal tumors and a solitary kidney who had previously undergone an open right radical nephrectomy with extended lymphadenectomy for an invasive renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (pT3a N0M0) in November 2013. In May 2022, during routine surveillance, a left lower pole lesion measuring 2.5 × 2 × 1.6 cm was detected, and the patient was submitted to robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN). The histopathological study confirmed the presence of a pT1a Fuhrman grade 3 clear cell renal carcinoma. In October 2024, follow-up imaging revealed a new upper pole lesion measuring 4 × 3 × 2.3 cm in the left kidney. The patient was submitted to a novel robot-assisted partial nephrectomy, which was successfully completed using selective clamping of the renal artery. The clamping time was 28 minutes (versus 17 minutes during the initial procedure), and the estimated blood loss increased to approximately 300 mL compared to about 100 mL previously, with a console time of 98 minutes. The patient was discharged after the second surgery in good functional status. The final pathology revealed clear cell RCC, Fuhrman grade 2/nucleolar grade 2 (WHO/ISUP 2016), and pT1a, with negative margins. Despite increased technical challenges during reoperation, postoperative renal function remained stable, underscoring the feasibility of repeat RAPN in a solitary kidney.
