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

Robot-assisted surgery has revolutionized minimally invasive procedures, offering superior three-dimensional visualization and mobile instruments suitable for smaller areas. For this reason, robotic retroperitoneal adrenalectomy (RRA) is emerging as an ideal procedure for this technology. This study aimed to assess the outcomes of the first 10 consecutive cases of this procedure using the RAS Hugo™ platform. Conducted between July 2023 and February 2024, the surgeries were performed with patients in the prone position, accessing the retroperitoneal space using standard endoscopic techniques. High-energy sealing instruments were utilized for adrenal vein sectioning, and specimens were extracted using protective bags. Ten surgical interventions were performed, with six male patients and four female patients. Most patients underwent surgery due to suspected primary hyperaldosteronism (n=7), while the remainder were operated on for Cushing's syndrome (n=3). Median patient age was 58 years (range 50-73) with a median BMI of 28.5 kg/m
