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

The aim is to present our case series documenting indications, laparoscopic technique, surgical and endocrinologic outcomes of laparoscopic partial adrenalectomy. In the period from April 2011 until October 2021, we performed 39 procedures. The patients were divided into three groups: unilateral adrenal gland tumor with a normal contralateral gland (group 1), tumor of the solitary adrenal gland (group 2), and adrenal cysts (group 3). There were 20 patients in group 1, 6 patients in group 2, and 13 patients in group 3. The most common histology in group 1 was adenoma (40%), all tumors in group 2 were renal cell carcinoma metastases, and all cysts in group 3 were benign. There were no major complications (Clavien Dindo grade ≥2) in the whole cohort. All patients in groups 1 and 3 had favorable endocrinologic outcomes, and 50% of group 2 patients required lifelong hydrocortisone replacement therapy. The procedure is safe and feasible with favorable outcomes in the hands of a high volume adrenal surgeon.
