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

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of obesity on the results of laparoscopic adrenal surgery in patients with Cushing syndrome. Methods: This retrospective study was performed in Department of General Surgery at Erciyes University School of Medicine between January 2010 and January 2023. Our analysis included Cushing syndrome patients who underwent unilateral laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) with the transabdominal lateral approach. All patients were evaluated in terms of age, sex, tumor diameter, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status classification, morbidities, surgery history, tumor side, operative time, conversion to open surgery, complications, and length of hospital stay. Results: A total of 90 patients (75 females and 15 males) underwent a transperitoneal LA. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to their BMI: obese group (≥30 kg/m Conclusion: Our results showed that LA is safe and effective in patients with Cushing syndrome with morbid obesity, allowing acceptable morbidity and length of hospital stay.
