Perioperative complications of adrenalectomy - 12 years of experience from a single center/teaching hospital and literature review.
Article in Archives of medical science : AMS, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
introductionThe perioperative complication rate of adrenalectomy varies between 1.7% and 30.7% in the medical literature. This study presents outcomes of adrenalectomy in our center and tries to point out risk factors for perioperative problems. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed all patients who underwent adrenalectomy in our department from January 2004 to June 2015. Patient's sex, indication for procedure, tumor laterality, surgical approach and surgeon's case volume were taken into consideration as possible risk factors for complications.
resultsThere were 177 adrenalectomies performed on 170 patients. We reported 18 (10.2%) perioperative complications, 12 (6.8%) surgical and 6 (3.4%) medical. Laparotomy was a significant risk factor for medical (
conclusionsAdrenal glands are surrounded by various anatomic structures (colon, pancreas, spleen, diaphragm) that may be injured during adrenalectomy. Complications following a laparoscopic procedure may arise from the use of monopolar coagulation and the patient's position on the operating table. High insufflation pressure during retroperitoneoscopic procedures may cause subcutaneous emphysema.
