Laparoscopic Versus Open Adrenalectomy: a Retrospective Comparative Study.
Article in Medical archives (Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundLaparoscopic Adrenalectomy (LA) has rapidly become the gold standard in management of adrenal tumors as it has been found to be associated with better cosmoses, shorter hospital stay and rapid convalescence.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to compare laparoscopic and open approach to adrenal glands in terms of operative time, hospital stay, indications and blood loss at a tertiary medical center in Jordan.
methodsA retrospective comparative study which included all patients who underwent adrenalectomy (open or laparoscopic) from 2005 to 2015 at King Hussein Medical Center (KHMC). Patients' demographics ,outcomes and essential study variables were extracted from patients' files. Data analysis was performed using SPSS17 and Stata 10.
resultsOne hundred and three patients (mean age 44.9 years) were included, 90.2% of them underwent laparoscopic adrenalectomy. The size of the tumors ranged from 2 to 17 cm (mean 6.6 cm).The operative time, blood loss and hospital stay were significantly less in the laparoscopic group (P value <0.001). Patients in Open group had a significantly higher risk of incomplete excision of the tumors (P value=0.020).
conclusionLaparoscopic adrenalectomy is associated with decreased operative time, blood loss and hospital stay compared to open approach. Tumor size and its malignant potential should be no more regarded as an absolute contraindication to laparoscopic adrenal surgery.
