Comparison of retroperitoneal laparoscopy with flexible ureteroscopy for treating renal pelvis cysts: superior perioperative outcome with a comparable recurrence rate.

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.
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
objectivesTo assess the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic excision and drainage for treating renal pelvis pericystic cysts.
methodsA total of 100 patients with renal peripelvic cysts were included and divided into two groups according to surgical method: the Open group (receiving ureteroscopic peripelvic cyst excision and internal drainage) and the Observation group (receiving laparoscopic retroperitoneal peripelvic cyst decompression), with 50 cases in each group. The surgical data of the two groups were compared, including surgical time, intraoperative blood loss, first exhaust time, activity time, length of hospital stay, use of analgesics, renal function indicators, pelvic dilation, visual analog scale (VAS) scores for swelling compression related symptoms (lower back pain), postoperative complications, and cyst recurrence rate.
resultsCompared to the Open group, the Observation group was superior in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, first exhaust time, time of getting out of bed, hospitalization time, and analgesic demand (all
conclusionRetroperitoneal laparoscopic decortication for the treatment of peripelvic cysts significantly improved perioperative outcome and safety, while demonstrating a comparable long-term recurrence rate to flexible ureteroscopic internal drainage.
