Benefits of transitioning from transperitoneal laparoscopic to retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy-a single center experience.
Article in Gland surgery, 2024. 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
Background: Since 2017, switching from laparoscopic transabdominal adrenalectomy (LTA), posterior retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy (RPA) is used as standard procedure in this institution. Aim of this retrospective study was to compare both techniques regarding operative time, length of stay and safety of the procedures. Methods: All patients operated in our institution for adrenal tumors were prospectively documented in the EUROCRINE-database and retrospectively analyzed. Sex, age, body mass index (BMI), indication, operative time, conversion and complication rates, hospital stay and tumor-size were analyzed by Z-score, chi-square test, Results: A total of 105 RPAs and 132 LTAs were performed in an 8-year period. No difference was seen in age, sex and tumor localization. Adenoma (n=113) and pheochromocytoma (n=64) were the most common histopathological findings. Compared to the LTA group, the RPA group had significantly shorter operative time with a median of 50 (15-380) Conclusions: RPA could be safely introduced with reduced operative times and shorter length of hospital stay compared to LTA.
