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

introductionThe left adrenal gland is prone to being approached with several access points. This study presents a series of robotic submesocolic left adrenalectomies. MATERIALS AND

methodsIntraoperative and post-operative outcomes of robotic (RB) and laparoscopic (LP) submesocolic (SM) access to the adrenal gland were compared. Subsequently, these were compared to left adrenalectomy performed using the anterior approach (AT).

resultsOperative time was statistically longer in the LP group (p < 0.001). There was no statistical difference for postoperative complications. After the propensity matching, there was a correlation between the BMI and the onset of post-operative complications (OR = 1.01). The operative time was significantly longer in the AT group both overall (p = 0.023) and within the LP procedures (p < 0.001), but not in the RB procedures (p = 0.386). Length of stay was shorter in the SM group (p = 0.024).

conclusionsThe RB SM approach to the left adrenal gland is a safe and feasible.
