1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Concomitant indications for adrenalectomy and cholecystectomy are rare, and simultaneous laparoscopic performance of both procedures is infrequently reported. Combined surgery may reduce anesthetic exposure, hospital stay, and recovery time. A 57-year-old male was admitted with intermittent pain in the right upper quadrant and abdominal distension. Imaging confirmed cholelithiasis with chronic cholecystitis, along with an incidental, nonfunctional 8-cm right adrenal mass. The patient underwent an uneventful simultaneous laparoscopic right adrenalectomy and cholecystectomy. Histopathology confirmed chronic cholecystitis with cholelithiasis and a benign adrenal cavernous hemangioma. The postoperative course was uneventful. This case demonstrates that laparoscopic adrenalectomy combined with simultaneous cholecystectomy can be safely performed in selected patients, this approach enables efficient management of two intra-abdominal pathologies while minimizing surgical morbidity.
