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
objectivesMayo adhesive probability (MAP) score affects the outcomes of adrenaletomy. Aimed to determine whether the modified retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (MRLA) overcomes periadrenal fat adhesion compared to Classical retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy (CRLA) to achieve better surgical outcomes. PATIENTS AND
methodsPatients admitted from January 2016 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed and systematically categorized into two distinct cohorts: the MRLA group and the CRLA group, based on specific criteria.The main surgical techniques modified of MRLA is third separation level: between the edge of adrenal gland and the peripheral renal fat. The baseline characteristics and perioperative data, e.g., age, gender, BMI, tumor position, tumor size (cm), MAP score, P distance (cm), perinephric stranding, and periadrenal stranding, estimated blood loss, Operating time, were analyzed, with statistical significance defined as p < 0.05. We analyzed the differences between groups using the t test. For measurement data that didn't follow normal distribution, we described the concentration and dispersion trended using M (Q25, Q75) and analyzed the differences between groups using the M-U test. For data that met certain conditions like being linear, normal and independent, we used linear regression analysis. For binary classification of dependent variables, we used binary logistic regression analysis.
resultsA total of 731 patients underwent adrenaletomy, and 651 patients had adequate data, were available for MAP score assessment. Of these patients, 247 were in the MRLA group, whereas 404 were in the CRLA group, baseline characteristics weren't found to be different between the two groups (p > 0.05). The MRLA group exhibited superior outcomes in terms of operating time, duration, postoperative hospital stay, estimated blood loss, and complications, in comparison to the CRLA group. Further analysis revealed that periadrenal stranding could be the underlying cause for this discrepancy.
conclusionsThe MRLA effectively overcame the impact of adhesive periadrenal fat (APAF) compared to CRLA. We recommend to employ the MRLA for patients with preoperative CT images indicating periadrenal fat adhesion.
