Single-incision laparoscopic adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism: report of a case.
Article in Surgery today, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
We herein report the first case of a single-incision laparoscopic access (SILA) adrenalectomy in Japan. A 74-year-old woman who was a hepatitis B virus carrier was referred to our hospital because of an abnormal screening result during a routine health checkup. Abdominal computed tomography and an endocrinologic workup revealed a 2-cm left adrenal tumor with primary aldosteronism. We prioritized the safety of the SILA adrenalectomy by choosing a left lower abdominal approach. A SILS port was inserted through a 2.5-cm incision. An ultrasonic coagulator was the main tool used during the surgical procedure. The duration of the surgery was 105 min and the blood loss was 1 ml. This result was comparable to that of a conventional laparoscopic adrenalectomy. Based on our experience, an SILA adrenalectomy is thus considered to be feasible and safe, with better cosmetic results and a greater overall patient satisfaction than that of a conventional laparoscopic adrenalectomy. However, further studies will be necessary before the universal adoption of this new technique can be considered.
