Robotic adrenalectomy: when and how?
Review in Gland surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Currently, laparoscopic adrenalectomy is considered as the preferred technique to manage adrenal tumors. However, there are no prospective randomized studies evaluating this strategy. With the recent advances in surgical equipment and the widespread of robotic technology, a robotic approach is considered as an interesting option in some medical centers. This approach seems to be feasible and safe but high-level evidence of its benefits is still lacking. This review summarizes indications, advantages and drawbacks of robotic adrenalectomy and describes its surgical technique.
