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

Hereditary paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma (PGL/PCC) syndrome is an uncommon genetic condition featured by an inherited predisposition to generate PGLs. Surgical resection of all tumors is the standard treatment for excess adrenaline production and tendency for metastasis. Nowadays, there are few case reports that have mentioned the surgical technique for hereditary PGL/PCC syndromes, especially robot-assisted surgery. Herein we present a rare case of hereditary PGL/PCC syndromes treated by partial cystectomy and right adrenalectomy at the same time with modified dual docking robotic surgical technique. Our dual docking robotic technique is a feasible option for patients with hereditary PGL/PCC syndromes of synchronous tumors in bladder and adrenal gland. It could not only prevent from second surgery but be safely performed without compromising disease control.
