"Totally no Tube" laparoscopic technique in the management of adrenal diseases: a safe and efficient practice.
Article in World journal of urology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundLaparoscopic adrenal surgery has become a common procedure for some adrenal diseases. The necessity of surgery-related tubes, such as abdominal drainage tubes, urinary catheters and endotracheal tubes, is controversial. These devices may induce regional tissue inflammation and cause discomfort. In this study, we evaluated the safety and the feasibility of "Totally No Tube (TNT)" transperitoneal laparoscopic technique in adrenal surgery.
methodsFrom January 2021 to December 2023, a total of 67 patients who underwent TNT laparoscopic adrenal surgery were reviewed, and 78 patients who underwent conventional laparoscopic adrenal surgery were included as the control group. Retrospective analysis was conducted on indicators such as the anesthesia and operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative visual analogue scale scores, Quality of Recovery-40 score, time to first ambulation after surgery, total hospitalization cost, and postoperative complications in both groups.
resultsAll 145 patients underwent surgery experienced no grade II-IV complications. The TNT group showed significantly shorter postoperative hospital stay, lower postoperative pain score, better QoR-40 score, earlier ambulation after surgery, lower total hospitalization cost, and fewer specific postoperative complications. There were no significant differences in anesthesia time, operation time, and intraoperative blood loss between these two groups.
conclusionTNT transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenal surgery is safe and well tolerated when strict selection criteria are followed. It is associated with a similar rate of postoperative complications compared to the conventional laparoscopic approaches. Concurrently, it offers advantages such as less postoperative discomfort, greater satisfaction with recovery from surgery, and lower healthcare expenditure.
