Robotic assisted versus conventional laparoscopic adrenalectomy for local adrenal neuroblastoma in children: a comparative study.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectiveWhile some case reports have demonstrated the safety and feasibility of robotic assisted laparoscopic adrenalectomy (RA) for treating local adrenal neuroblastoma (NB) in children, it remains unclear whether RA offers advantages over laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) in the pediatric population. This study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes and efficacy of RA and LA for treating pediatric local adrenal NB.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on pediatric patients who underwent minimally invasive adrenalectomy for local adrenal NB in our hospital between May 2012 and April 2024. Among them, 12 patients (6 females, 6 males) underwent LA, while 10 patients (7 females, 3 males) underwent RA. All procedures were performed via a transperitoneal approach.
resultsThe RA group exhibited significantly less intraoperative blood loss (p = 0.036), shorter postoperative drainage duration (p = 0.031), and reduced postoperative hospital stay (p = 0.021) compared to the LA group. No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of operative time, conversion rate to open surgery, postoperative complications, or intraoperative hemodynamic parameters.
conclusionOur findings suggest that RA and conventional LA are equally safe and effective for treating local adrenal NB. RA offers advantages over LA, including reduced intraoperative blood loss, shorter postoperative drainage duration, and shorter postoperative hospital stay. However, these findings are preliminary and require confirmation through larger, multicenter studies to establish broader clinical implications.
