Ectopic low-grade adrenocortical carcinoma in the spinal region: immunohistochemical and molecular cytogenetic study of a pediatric case.
Article in The American journal of surgical pathology, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
Ectopic adrenocortical neoplasms arising in the nervous system are very rare. We encountered an intradural, extramedullary case of an adrenocortical neoplasm of indeterminate malignant potential affecting a spinal nerve root in the distal lumbar region of a 5-month-old girl. The lesion recurred 6 months after the initial gross total resection. The tumor in both resections had increased mitotic activity (5/10 high power fields) and MIB-1 labeling indices of 23% and 33% at initial resection and recurrence, respectively. Both tumors demonstrated gains of chromosomes 5 and 12 by interphase cytogenetics, whereas insulin growth factor 2 was identified in the recurrent tumor by immunohistochemistry. This report demonstrates that ectopic adrenocortical tumors in the nervous system may exhibit clinicopathologic and cytogenetic features suggestive of adrenocortical carcinoma.
