Corticomedullary mixed tumor of the adrenal gland-a clinical and pathological chameleon: case report and review of literature.
Review in Updates in surgery, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Adrenal tumors mostly present with specific and unique clinical features, regarding their endocrine metabolism. A 53-year-old man came to our Department for a left adrenal mass discovered incidentally. Biochemical and imaging findings were suspicious for a pheochromocytoma. The patient underwent a laparoscopic left adrenalectomy. A well-circumscribed 5.5-cm mass was removed. It was composed of adrenal cells intimately admixed with pheochromocytes. Immunohistochemical studies were positive both for cortical cells (inibin-α, synaptophysine and melan-A) and medullary cells (S-100 and chromogranine A). Final pathology was of corticomedullary mixed tumor (CMT). CMT is a rare tumor with 14 cases previously reported in literature, with wide variable biochemical behavior, such as his radiological and pathological features. Prevalence and actual malignant potential are yet unknown to our knowledge.
