Simultaneous bilateral laparoscopic cortical-sparing adrenalectomy for bilateral pheochromocytomas in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the feasibility of synchronous bilateral laparoscopic or open cortical-sparing adrenalectomy (SB-LCSA or SB-OCSA) for bilateral pheochromocytomas (bPHEOs) in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2). Methods: Altogether, 31 patients (54.8% were women) were diagnosed with MEN2-related bPHEOs, and 29 of them underwent varying specific adrenalectomies. We systematically analyzed and evaluated their clinical profiles, mutation types, tumor histopathological features, and follow-up records. Results: All 31 patients with bPHEOs presented with Conclusion: SB-LCSA is feasible for treating synchronous bPHEOs and should be recommended as a prioritized surgical approach.
