Laparoscopic adrenalectomy in resident training: ıs it safe and feasible?
Article in Revista da Associacao Medica Brasileira (1992), 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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate whether laparoscopic adrenalectomy can be safely performed by senior residents (4 years and above) with the guidance of senior surgeons.
methodsPatients who underwent unilateral laparoscopic transabdominal adrenalectomy between January 2012 and December 2023 were enrolled. Patients were divided into two groups. Patients' demographic, clinical, and surgical data were recorded and analyzed.
resultsA total of 106 patients were enrolled in the study. Twenty of the patients were male, and 86 were female. The mean age was 51.8 (±standard deviation±12.1). In group 1, there were 83 patients (78.3%) who were operated on by a senior surgeon, and in group 2, there were 23 patients (21.7%) who were operated on by a senior resident. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of age, gender, and American Anesthesia Society score. A statistically significant difference was detected between the two groups in terms of mass diameter (p=0.042). In multivariate analysis, being operated on by a senior surgeon was not a risk factor for either postoperative complications or conversion to open surgery.
conclusionIn conclusion, laparoscopic adrenalectomy can be safely performed by senior residents under the supervision of senior surgeons.
