[Robotic vs. laparoscopic adrenalectomy for adrenal tumors].
Review in Chirurgie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2026. 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
Robot-assisted surgical techniques have become increasingly established in general and visceral surgery over the past 15 years. This also applies to adrenalectomy, a purely resective procedure that does not require complex reconstruction. The current standard remains minimally invasive surgery, performed either laparoscopically or retroperitoneoscopically. Do a number of perceived advantages-such as stable three-dimensional visualization, articulated instruments, and an additional "hand" for the surgeon-justify the still considerably higher costs of robotic-assisted surgery? Current evidence suggests minor benefits of robotic surgery in certain operative and complication-related parameters, although these advantages appear to have limited relevance in everyday clinical practice. A broader perspective, however, indicates that the question raised will soon become obsolete, as robot-assisted techniques are likely to become standard practice in the near future.
