Comparison of retroperitoneal laparoscopic versus open adrenalectomy for large pheochromocytoma: a single-center retrospective study.

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
backgroundIt remains unclear whether retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (RLA) is safe and effective for the treatment of large pheochromocytoma (PHEO). This retrospective study aimed to identify the advantages and disadvantages of RLA compared to open adrenalectomy (OA).
methodsThis study included 147 patients who underwent RLA (n = 101) or OA (n = 46) for PHEO larger than 5 cm. Groups were balanced by propensity score matching (PSM) into 46 pairs. Perioperative variables and long-term follow-up results were compared between the two groups.
resultsAfter PSM, patients in the RLA group had a shorter operative time (218 vs. 245 min, P = 0.040), quicker bowel recovery (2 vs. 3 days, P = 0.046), and a shorter hospital stay (8 vs. 9 days, P = 0.010) compared to the OA group. The results of multiple linear regression analyses showed that the operative method (OA vs. RLA) had an influence on the above three postoperative variables (β = 31.84, P = 0.046; β = 0.76, P = 0.044; and β = 1.25, P = 0.025, respectively). There was no significant difference in the proportion of patients with improved blood pressure (82.61% vs. 69.57%, P = 0.143) between the two groups.
conclusionsBoth RLA and OA provide similar perioperative and long-term outcomes for the surgical management of large PHEO. RLA is an efficacious and safe surgical method for patients with PHEO larger than 5 cm in diameter.
