Robotic surgery for malignant and large adrenal masses: A doable and safe option.
Article in Journal of minimal access surgery. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Laparoscopic adrenalectomy is currently considered the gold standard method for adrenal surgery. Open surgery is the most frequent technique preferred amongst surgeons who are faced with tumours of larger sizes or challenging lesions. Despite the increasing interest in laparoscopy, most centres still utilise open surgery for challenging adrenal cases. Patients: and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated our successive 30 robotic adrenalectomies performed in the past 10 years and assigned the patients into 'difficult' and 'easy' groups. Patients with malignant tumours or tumour size of over 8 cm were assigned to the 'difficult group' and others to the 'easy group'. Groups were evaluated according to the demographic features of the patients, side of the operation, the body mass index (BMI) and laparotomy history. The duration of anaesthesia, amount of bleeding during surgery and the hospitalisation periods were also evaluated. Results: There is no statistically significant difference between the two groups considering age, gender, BMI value, operation side, presence or absence of a laparotomy history, the amount of bleeding during the operation and hospitalisation duration (P > 0.05). The anaesthesia duration was found to be higher in the 'difficult' patient group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Our results present robust evidence to support the idea that robotic adrenalectomy is not only a doable but also a safe option for malignant and large adrenal masses.
