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

Objectives: To propose a comprehensive scoring system for adrenal tumors ≤ 6cm and evaluate its rationality and validity. Materials and methods: This study retrospectively analyzed 268 patients with primary adrenal tumors who underwent laparoscopic surgery from January 2018 to December 2022 and all of them met the inclusion criteria. Evaluation scores were calculated for gender (G), body mass index (BMI) (B), tumor diameter (D), the relative position of the tumor to the kidney (K), the relative position of the tumor and the blood vessels (V) and the tumor location in the adrenal gland (A). Then, the total scores were correlated with the operation results, so as to verify the feasibility of GBDKVA in evaluating the surgical risk. Results: The GBDKVA score showed a consistent and statistically significant correlation with operation time (OT) and blood loss (BL), as well as a correlation with postoperative complications in patients (p < 0.01), but no significant correlation was found with recovery time of gastrointestinal function, bed rest days, indwelling drainage tube days and postoperative hospitalization time were opposite. Conclusions: GBDKVA score is reliable for preoperative risk assessment of patients with adrenal tumors ≤6cm.
