Comparison of lateral transperitoneal versus retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy for pheochromocytoma: a single-centre retrospective study.
Article in Updates in surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) has became the standardized treatment for pheochromocytoma. The aim of this study was to evaluate outcomes of lateral transperitoneal and retroperitoneal LA for pheochromocytoma. Between January 2011 and December 2021, 142 patients with pheochromocytoma underwent LA via lateral transperitoneal (123 patients) or retroperitoneal (19 patients) approaches. Data of these patients were assessed to investigate the differences in perioperative outcomes and intraoperative haemodynamic parameters between the two procedures. Clinical parameters at presentation were comparable between the two groups, except for tumour size, which was larger in the transperitoneal group (50 [10-115] mm vs 35 [7-110] mm, P = 0.012). There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of operation time, estimated blood loss, intraoperative transfusion rate, incidence of complications, conversion to open surgery, postoperative analgesic requirement, time to first oral intake, or mean hospital stay. Intraoperative haemodynamic parameters of the two groups were similar. After adjusting for tumour size using propensity score matching, both perioperative outcomes and haemodynamic parameters were still comparable. Lateral transperitoneal and retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomies provide similar perioperative and haemodynamic outcomes for surgical resection of pheochromocytoma.
