Figure 2 Network plots for different outcomes of interest of different surgical approaches. The area of the nodes represents the cumulative number of enrolled patients for each intervention and the width of the lines represents the number of trials comparing each pair of treatments. OLDN, open living donor nephrectomy; LLDN, laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy; HALLDN, hand-assisted laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy; RLDN, robot-assisted laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy. (1) Right nephrectomy; (2) left nephrectomy; (3) body mass index (BMI); (4) warm ischemia time; (5) estimated blood loss; (6) operation time; (7) donor intraoperative complications; (8) donor postoperative complications; (9) visual analogue scale (VAS) on day 1; (10) Morphine intake on day 1; (11) donor length of hospital stay; (12) delayed graft function; (13) acute rejection; and (14) 1-year graft survival.
