Re: Olivero A, et al. Adrenocortical carcinoma with venous tumor invasion: is there a role for mini-invasive surgery?
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThe surgical treatment for adrenocortical carcinoma with venous tumor invasion remains a challenge for surgeons. A critical factor in determining the surgical approach is utilizing a classification system that accurately defines the tumor thrombus level.
methodsOlivero and colleagues report their experience regarding the feasibility of mini-invasive surgery for adrenocortical carcinoma with venous tumor invasion. They studied the outcome of 20 patients from 4 international referral center databases.
resultsThey describe a classification for adrenal tumor with tumor thrombus into four levels: (1) adrenal vein invasion; (2) renal vein invasion; (3) infra-hepatic inferior vena cava (IVC); and (4) retro-hepatic IVC.
conclusionsWe congratulate the authors for their work and patient outcomes; however, in efforts to avoid confusion in the surgical community, we believe their classification system requires modification compared to our classification system developed in 2004.
