Lateral transperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy: A single-centre experience of 21 procedures.
Article in Open medicine (Warsaw, Poland), 2025. 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: Laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) is the gold standard technique for well-selected patients with an adrenal mass. The surgical team's experience is an essential factor in the surgical outcome. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the outcomes of patients who underwent lateral transperitoneal LA to remove their adrenal mass. Methods: In this case-series study, 20 consecutive patients with adrenal mass were enrolled in Sulaimani Teaching Hospital, Sulaimaniyah, Iraq, from March 2019 to March 2022. Patients underwent lateral transperitoneal LA under general anaesthesia. Then, the type of LA, operation time, mass size, hospital stay, histopathological finding, and postoperative complications were assessed. Results: Most patients were females (65%), underwent left-sided LA (55%), had a nonfunctioning mass (55%), and had no postoperative complications (85%). The mean operation time was 95 ± 2.0 min, and the mean hospital stay was 3.2 ± 1.5 days. Most patients were detected incidentally through radiology (55%), while others were detected after biochemical tests were done, including cases of pheochromocytoma (25%), hypercortisolism (10%), and hyperaldosteronism (10%). Most patients had benign cortical adenoma (45%), followed by benign medullary pheochromocytoma (25%), myelolipoma (15%), oncocytoma, adrenal hyperplasia, and ganglioneuroma (5.0% each). Conclusions: LA seems to be a safe and feasible option for selected cases in this locality.
