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

contextIncidentally discovered solid adrenal tumors must be evaluated from two points of view: the risk of malignancy and the secretory feature.

objectiveOur aim was to evaluate the surgical technique option in relation with clinical and histopathologic features.

designWe performed a retrospective study that included patients with adrenal gland tumors. SUBJECTS AND

methodsAll patients were operated between 2012 and 2019 by the same surgical team in a single center.

resultsThe batch included 102 patients with adrenal tumors operated through open surgery (OS, n=41) and laparoscopic surgery (LS, n=61). Tumor localization was especially on the right adrenal gland (n=52, 50.98%). Primary origin of the adrenal gland tumors was in 82 cases (80.39%) and a metastatic origin in 16 cases. Average dimension for surgical resected tumors was 4.02 cm (0.9-12 cm) for the LS group as compared to 7.22 cm (1.3-19 cm) for OS group with a predominant type of surgery represented by adrenalectomy and a conversion rate of 2.94%. The hospital stay was 7.22 days (5-12 days) in the LS group

conclusionLaparoscopic approach represents the gold standard in adrenal gland tumors less than five centimeters in size. Adrenalectomy is mostly performed by LS and adenoma is the most frequent histopathologic type, while pheochromocytoma is operated through OS. LS has a significantly reduced hospitalization and postoperative stay compared to OS.
