1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Laparoscopic approach for suspected adrenal malignancies remains a controversial issue and it gets more controversial, when managing giant adrenal malignant tumors. The aim of this paper is to present five cases of patients with giant adrenal malignant tumors that underwent laparoscopic transabdominal lateral adrenalectomy in our department between 2010 and 2017. Literature is also reviewed in order to investigate the feasibility of laparoscopic resection in these cases.
