Transperitoneal laparoscopic excision of a giant adrenal lymphangioma: a step-by-step approach.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 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
Background: Adrenal lymphangiomas are rare, benign, cystic tumors of lymphatic origin. They are often incidentally discovered and pose diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific imaging features. Definitive diagnosis requires surgical excision and histopathology. Case presentation: A 52-year-old woman with hypothyroidism was found to have a progressively enlarging right adrenal mass. Imaging revealed a large multiloculated cystic lesion with septal enhancement, hemorrhage, and calcifications, consistent with adrenal lymphangioma. Functional adrenal disease was excluded. She underwent transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy with complete excision. Histopathology confirmed adrenal lymphangioma. Recovery was uneventful, and she remained asymptomatic at the 3-month follow-up. Conclusion: Minimally invasive transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy is a safe and effective approach for large adrenal cystic lesions in experienced centers.
