Mini-laparoscopic adrenalectomy with transgastric specimen extraction.

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
We aimed to describe the initial experience of mini-laparoscopic adrenalectomy combined with transgastric specimen extraction and to assess its safety and feasibility. We used only 5-mm trocars, three ports for left adrenalectomy and four for right. Intraoperative gastroscopy was performed for specimen extraction through the mouth via an endoscopic snare. The gastrotomy was closed intracorporeally. Demographic, perioperative and pathological data were analyzed. There were 16 patients (12 females) with the mean age of 46.5 ± 11.3 years and half of them had previous abdominal surgeries. The median operative time was 150 (45-432) min with a median blood loss of 88 (0-350) ml. The median oral intake time was 2 (1-4) days and the median length of hospital stay was 2 (2-5) days. There was no mortality and extraction-related complication. Histopathological median tumor length, width and depth were 3 cm, 2.15 cm, and 1.9 cm, respectively. The median specimen length, width and depth were 6.25 cm, 4 cm, and 2.2 cm, respectively. Mini-laparoscopic adrenalectomy combined with transgastric specimen extraction is a safe and feasible surgical technique. It provides a less invasive surgery and may also have some benefits on wound-related complications and cosmesis.
