Surgical Treatment of Adrenal Neuroblastoma in Children - A Narrative Review.
Review in International braz j urol : official journal of the Brazilian Society of Urology. 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
objectiveTo analyze the role of surgical treatment in pediatric adrenal neuroblastoma and the operative methods employed according to staging and risk stratification based on patient-related and tumor biological factors. MATERIALS AND
methodsA narrative literature review was conducted through a structured search of the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. Studies published in English between 2020 and 2025 were included, while classical references were used to contextualize staging and risk stratification systems. Letters, editorials, case reports, and studies not providing specific insight into the topic were excluded.
resultsSurgical treatment represents a key component in the management of pediatric adrenal neuroblastoma. Staging and risk stratification determine both the timing of surgery and its role in achieving local disease control. In low-risk neuroblastoma, surgery alone may be curative. In intermediate-risk patients, neoadjuvant chemotherapy precedes resection, reducing surgical complexity and facilitating tumor removal. In high-risk patients, tumor resection exceeding 90% may contribute to improved overall survival (OS). Image-Defined Risk Factors (IDRFs) are essential for staging and surgical planning, as they define the anatomical relationship between the tumor and adjacent vascular and organ structures. Surgical approaches include open surgery and minimally invasive surgery, the latter being appropriate in carefully selected cases.
conclusionSurgical treatment remains fundamental in pediatric adrenal neuroblastoma, and operative strategies should be guided by clinical, biological, and radiologic parameters to achieve maximal oncologic safety.
