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

objectivesTo present our center's experience in the management of adrenal myelolipoma in the context of shifting from the open to the laparoscopic adrenalectomy approach. MATERIALS AND

methodsA retrospective search of our center's records was done for reported cases of adrenal myelolipoma during the period July 2001-June 2016. All the cases with histopathologically-documented adrenal myelolipoma diagnosis were included. Relevant demographic and clinical variables were studied with a comparison between the open and laparoscopic approaches.

resultsOf more than 82,000 urological surgeries, 238 adrenalectomies were done with only 22 cases of myelolipoma that had a mean age and body mass index of 52.4 ± 10.3 years and 30.23 kg/m

conclusionsAdrenal myelolipoma is a rare non-functioning benign tumor. Laparoscopic excision seems to be a promising alternative approach to the traditional open adrenalectomy, even in the context of large tumors and obesity.
