Use of laparoscopic surgical resection for pediatric malignant solid tumors: a case series.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
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
backgroundMinimally invasive surgery for malignant pediatric tumors remains controversial, and few cases have been published. The present study reports on our initial experiences of laparoscopic surgical resection for selected pediatric malignant solid tumors.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed data from ten pediatric patients who underwent laparoscopic surgical resection for malignant solid tumors at our institute between April 2005 and January 2010.
resultsThere were four boys and six girls, including one neonate and four infants. The mean age at surgery was 23.3 months (range, 13 days-69 months). Six patients underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy for neuroblastoma (n=5) or adrenocortical carcinoma (n=1). Two patients underwent laparoscopic partial hepatectomy for hepatoblastoma, one patient underwent a laparoscopic salpingo-oophorectomy for yolk sac tumor, and one a laparoscopic tumor excision for rhabdomyosarcoma in the pelvis. Complete tumor resection was performed in all cases. Tumors ranged from 2.5 to 5.3 cm maximum diameter. Tumors were placed inside endobags and removed safely without spillage. The mean operation time was 132 (range, 65-250) min. There were no open conversions and no postoperative complications. The mean postoperative hospital stay was 4.9 (range, 2-7) days, and all surgical wounds showed good cosmetic results. There were no local tumor recurrences during the 17.3-month median follow-up period.
conclusionsLaparoscopic surgical resection for selected pediatric malignant solid tumors was found to be feasible and safe. Long-term follow-up data are essential to confirm oncologic safety.
