Estimation of physiologic ability and surgical stress (E-PASS) predicts postoperative complications after adrenalectomy.
Article in Updates in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
The Estimation of Physiologic Ability and Surgical Stress (E-PASS) score, initially developed for gastrointestinal surgery, is a validated system used to predict postoperative complications by evaluating preoperative and intraoperative factors. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the E-PASS score in predicting postoperative complications following adrenalectomy. In this single-center retrospective study, we analyzed data from 202 patients who underwent adrenalectomy by a single surgeon between January 2017 and March 2024. 182 patients with complete data and who met the study criteria were included in the study. Demographic, clinical, intraoperative, and postoperative data were collected and analyzed, including preoperative complaints, ASA classification, ECOG performance status, presence of systemic diseases, type of surgery, and intraoperative details, such as blood loss and complications. Postoperative complications were classified using the Clavien-Dindo Classification. The mean age of the patients was 48.7 ± 13.6 years. The mean BMI was 24.1 kg/m
