Retroperitoneal Laparoscopic Surgery in the Treatment of Complex Adrenal Tumors.
Article in Cancer management and research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo explore the laparoscopic technique with the retroperitoneal approach for complex adrenal tumors. PATIENTS AND
methodsThe clinical data of 11 patients with complex adrenal tumors from July 2017 to July 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, there were 4 males and 7 females, 4 with adrenal myelolipomas, 3 with adrenal pheochromocytomas, 2 with adrenal cysts, 1 with adrenocortical adenoma and 1 with adrenal ganglioneuroma. The average tumor diameter was 6.5 ± 1.2 cm, and the average age of the patients was 48 ± 13 years.
resultsAll the operations were successfully completed. The average operation time was 95 ± 15 min, the average amount of blood loss was 50 ± 15 mL, and the average postoperative hospital stay was 2.6 ± 1.3 days. No tumor recurrence was found after 1 year of follow-up.
conclusionRetroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery is effective for the treatment of complex adrenal tumors, but it requires good surgical skills. Surgeons skilled in laparoscopic technology can safely carry out retroperitoneal laparoscopic surgery for complex adrenal tumors.
